None. Nada. RT @ktumulty: Which pollster is going to own up to telling @WendyDavisTexas that this empty wheelchair ad was a good idea?

Semi-Perfunctory ‏@count_01 Oct 10

@ktumulty @WendyDavisTexas Her campaign can afford zero own-goals. That was probably it.

Barry Jackson ‏@barryjackson1 Oct 10

@ktumulty and why was it a bad thing? Was it truthful?

Karen Tumulty ‏@ktumulty Oct 10

@barryjackson1 Low probability of being persuasive. High probability of being offensive.

Barry Jackson ‏@barryjackson1 Oct 10

@ktumulty why was it offensive?

Karen Tumulty ‏@ktumulty Oct 10

@barryjackson1 Just watch...

Barry Jackson ‏@barryjackson1 Oct 10

@ktumulty yeah. And so? I mean - it uses his injury to paint a lack of empathy in others. Don't see what is so awful. Maybe it works/doesnt.

Karen Tumulty ‏@ktumulty Oct 10

@barryjackson1 I'm from Texas. I put high probability on the latter.

Barry Jackson ‏@barryjackson1 Oct 10

@ktumulty would agree. Only because some r uncomfortable pointing out any disability. So there is backlash. Even if accurate. bc discomfort.

Karen Tumulty ‏@ktumulty Oct 10

@barryjackson1 My original point was about the wisdom of using this as an ad.

Paul Demos ‏@UpperWSGuy Oct 10

@ktumulty We need more women in politics like the inestimable .@wendydavistexas. And DWS.

Barry Jackson ‏@barryjackson1 Oct 10

@ktumulty I am from TX too. And I do put the probability on latter too. Although she was behind anyway. Just think it was legit. Not effec.

Karen Tumulty ‏@ktumulty Oct 10

@barryjackson1 Refer you to my original tweet.

Nathanial Owen ‏@NJOwen Oct 10

@ktumulty @barryjackson1 why is it offensive? because it's untrue? or because the media is shallow enough to fall for fake outrage?

Barry Jackson ‏@barryjackson1 Oct 10

@NJOwen @ktumulty I am thinking the latter. But members of the public too. He's in a wheelchair. So it must be out-of-bounds.

Nathanial Owen ‏@NJOwen Oct 10

@barryjackson1 @ktumulty public is so shallow in large part b/c the media is so shallow. they'd rather analyze the "horse race" than facts.
