Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

RE: RE: RE: Brunstetter-Joines tie...

To me, Tabor seems desperate to make a tame, respectful race more provocative... which - to me - isn't something that a successor to Ham Horton would do to win an election. Horton had more style, class, and brainpower than to resort to such B.S. campaign tactics.
Who knows how Horton would have campaigned if he had competent challengers in a GOP primary. Remember, since there is no Democrat that filed for this district, the winner will be whoever wins that GOP primary. To be honest, I think the issue that Tabor is bringing up about Brunsetter supporting a Democrat is legitimate.


Again, is Tabor really the guy that should take the place of Ham Horton, a respected Republican who was well known by his effectiveness in working with peers from across the political spectrum? I wonder what Sen. Horton would have to say about this race?
Since I don't live in the district, I don't really care who they elect...
