Cornyn Senior Staffer Attends Netroots Nation


by: Matt Glazer

Fri Jul 18, 2008 at 01:31 PM CDT


Rob Jessmer, campaign manager for Junior Senator John Cornyn, said the thousand of people attending Netroots Nation were here for one reason...

They are here for one reason -- to rally around the Noriega campaign as we approach the final three months of the campaign.

Seems like a striking statement since we ran into Cornyn's senior strategist David Beckwith (aka Buck Smith).  Beckwith registered for the event, and we have video uploading of him enjoying some panels in the exhibit all.  

I wonder if Beckwith agrees with Jessmer when he says, "It is ironic they chose to come to Texas because I am sure the Netroots participants will look around and ask-did we get lost on the way to Berkeley?"

One thing that was funny was that Beckwith poked his head in to the Lone Star Candidates forum this morning at 9 a.m. and he failed to follow the rules by wearing his credentials.  Is Beckwith hiding?  Is he ashamed of who he is or what he is doing?  Does he think Austin is like Berkeley or does he support Rick Noriega like Jessmer implies. I doubt it.

It would be naive to think that Beckwith has switched sides.  So that leaves one option, Beckwith is here spying and since John Cornyn approves of everything Beckwith does, that means Cornyn wants him here.

It is time to get rid of Junior John and elect Lt. Col. Rick Noriega!

self-absorption knows no bounds when you're a republican, does it?

of course, supporting noriega is a great reason to be at netroots nation...i just don't think that's a primary objective of non-Texas bloggers.

"It is ironic they chose to come to Texas because I am sure the Netroots participants will look around and ask-did we get lost on the way to Berkeley?"

I heard this exact same statement today from one of the propagandists on right-wing talk radio. Sorry that I can't recall who it was. They all sound the same.


And... (3.00 / 1)
It's also unbelievable that David Beckwith showed up.  

They believe the Netroots showed up in Austin all because of John Cornyn???

...maybe he can stop by our Travis County Democratic HQ and sign up for Blockwalking?

I saw Cornyn's web guy, Vincent Harris, doing some taping.

I wonder if they know that this as about as transparent an event as one can get and that they can already get a ton of video from the web?

They must like paying registration fees.

attn Sen. Cornyn: If the staff is telling you that you really need some oppo research on me and Bill in Portland Maine, they are taking you for a ride.


That wasn't Vincent Harris (0.00 / 0)
Vincent Harris was not the guy with the camera.
