Leaked Nunn Docs: Court Black Voters And Avoid Looking 'Too Liberal' To Win
So - lie, deceive, mislead? - both minorities and your base.
Good to know.
Advisers for Democratic Senate Candidate Michelle Nunn (GA) warned that she might come off as "too liberal" and "not a real Georgian" and also laid out exactly how Nunn needed to approach key demographic groups to win the Senate race.
The documents, which seemed to be posted in December for a brief period of time, were reported by National Review on Monday.
One of the memos said that there is a "tremendous financial opportunity" to draw from in the Jewish community among fundraisers. But, the memo warned, "Michelle's position on Israel will largely determine the level of support here."
The documents also said that Asian Americans would need to be key fundraisers. The Asian American community was described as "very tight" and that people in that community strive "become citizens quickly."
Strategists also said that there is a major opportunity to fundraise from people who are bisexual, transgender, or gay. The documents describe them as having "substantial resources."
Also in the documents, Democratic Pollster Diane Feldman recommended working to increase voter turnout among Latinos and African Americans while looking to win about 30 percent of the white vote. The documents said that African Americans are a "critical" constituency for the Democratic base in Georgia.
So - lie, deceive, mislead? - both minorities and your base.
