Nothing To See Here, Folks

August 4th, 2011

An apparently very nervous Reince Preibus (which still sounds like a creepy Star Wars name) is using his position as head of the RNC to tell the media they should just ignore next week's recall elections in Wisconsin. At the very least, he argues, whatever happens has no bearing on the issues looming in 2012. Uh huh.

From TPM:

"I don't think its a test run," Preibus said on a conference call with reporters this morning. He added that even though some of the key issues on the ballot in the coming weeks in his home state are "a similar debate to what we're having in the country," the "the localized nature of it doesn't allow it to be analogous to the 2012 election."

If the polls are to be believed, that's good news for the GOP."

We will be watching closely... sorry, Reince.
