Radnofsky campaign down by the stern

The latest Zogby poll is out. As you know, Radnofsky has been stuffing the box on Zogby for three months. But even with that, it hasn't helped stop her slide. Radnofsky now trails by 23.5 points in what has been her most favorable poll.

Her campaign is now reduced to stops at Starbucks, where she grabs a cup of coffee and then proceeds to harrass the strangers she meets there. No doubt, she finds a supporter or two -- after all, it is Starbucks. But most likely, the customers subjected to this heinous torture are wishing they had the local Mental Health hotline number programmed in their cell phones on speed dial.

But taking the cake is this gem of a story from the San Antonio Express News. The reporter tries to be fair, but you can read between the lines and see him snickering:

Where to start with this hilarious piece?

"Radnofsky, 50, rode shotgun as Seth Davidson, the manager of her U.S. Senate campaign, drove her bright red Chevrolet Tahoe along Interstate 10 West, heading to a small rally in Eldorado."

First of all, if you're campaigning in Eldorado in late September, that's a pretty good sign your campaign is in trouble. I mean, come on. Eldorado? I didn't even know we had an Eldorado in Texas. Did she miss El Paso and drive into New Mexico? Does she think she's Coronado or something?

More to the point, what's she going to do when she gets there and finds there's no Starbucks?

"Half an hour later, Radnofsky, dressed in a pink skirt and matching jacket, stood in front of a dozen Democrats seated in a semicircle of folding chairs in a small, bare meeting hall on the courthouse square. "

Wow! After 700 miles of driving, she reaches the City of Gold and finds...twelve people!

Twelve people? My God, it's a mass of voters. A virtual who's who of Texas. A conucopia of concerned citizens. A throng, a multitude, a host!

"They waited for a public radio reporter from Dallas on the sidewalk in front of the school. With hunger finally biting at them, they debated where to take the reporter for dinner.
Radnofsky knew a good Japanese restaurant in Dallas. It was more than an idle suggestion — she wanted to go there. "

A Sushi restaurant? In Texas? WTF? Could you get any more non-Texan? I mean come on, she might as well have "Yankee" tatooed on her forhead. After all, this is the same woman who as a trial lawyer filed frivolous lawsuits against barbecue pit makers. My God, the Nerve! You couldn't be more out of touch with Texas. You might as well just dig up old Sam Houston and piss on his corpse!

Yes, folks, this is one very odd bird, this Radnofsky gal. If it wasn't so damn serious, it would all be fairly pitiful, you know. Worst of all is what this says for the Democratic Party. I mean, this is the best they have to offer?

The SS Radnofsky is going down by the stern, and it is a sight to behold.
