Alberta Darling's New Campaign Strategy

Greg Borowski has a post on All Politics at JSOnline in which he covers a recent forum between Alberta Darling and Sheldon Wasserman. His story remarks on how each candidate stands on various issues:

• Darling agrees with Wasserman in supporting SeniorCare
• She also agrees with Wasserman in support expanding FamilyCare (for the record, I disagree with both of them on this subject)
• They both think that more money should be devoted to hiring counselors to help seniors navigate the bureaucratic red tape regarding benefits
• Darling echoes Wasserman's support for the ombudsman program to provide advocacy for seniors and their families.

When asked a question on another subject, Darling is quoted as saying, "You're not going to find much disagreement here either."

Darling went so far as to parrot Wassserman when he pointed out that he even voted to override vetoes by Governor Jim Doyle. Of course, Darling had to go back all the way to an override vote of a veto of Tommy Thompson, who has been out of the governor's chair for eight years.

When Wasserman noted that he is maintaining a full-time practice as a medical physician, Darling countered hat she used to be a "citizen leader." When I Googled "citizen leader" the best I could come up with is that it is another term for "community organizer."

And we all know how Republicans feel about community organizers.

Apparently, what Mr. Borowski missed is that Darling revealed her new campaign strategy. She is hoping to retain her Republican seat by running as a Democrat.
