Linda Douglass who used to work at ABC and now works for Obama/Biden is a real pro

[NNN0LHI]

Obama needs to keep her out front and center as much as possible. And she is worth whatever the campaign is paying her too. She made a monkey out of one of McCain's best spokeswomen today and didn't even break a sweat. She ate her up. It was a sight to see.

<snip>Joining us is Linda Douglass. She used to work with Charlie over at ABC News. She's now with the Obama campaign. She's joining us from Brookline, Massachusetts.

And with me here in Washington is senior economic adviser to the McCain campaign and a major senior adviser, also, to the McCain campaign, Nancy Pfotenhauer.

Ladies, thanks very much for coming in.

Linda, this ABC News/Washington Post poll among women voters -- in August, 42 percent said they supported McCain; 50 percent said they supported Obama.

Now 53 percent of these women say they support McCain; 41 percent say they support Obama. What happened?

DOUGLASS: Well, being as respectful as I can of the ABC poll, of course, this is an outlier poll. There's not another poll that shows anything like that.

1. I saw that. I thought to myself, who is this woman and why hasn't she been out there more.

She was cool, direct, made great points and completely wiped the floor with the McCain spokesperson.

2. This is great! Remember the sign of a good leader is who

he/she surrounds himself with!

3. Being as respectful as I can of the ABC poll, it is, of course, a piece of shit. (n/t)

Thank you! Thank you! I'll be playing this room through November.

:hi:

Okay. I am a little tired, but I have my new super-duper voter registration schedule ready to email out to volunteers and that IS worth a little :woohoo:

4. She's been one of the most professional and even-keeled journalists of the last 20yrs, and

I am thrilled she is so damn serious about what has gone on in this country that she took this position to make a difference.

Every serious journalist I know, and especially the investigative reporters, are disgusted with what passes for a newsmedia these days.

Salute to Linda Douglass.

6. Linda Douglass was a reporter in Los Angeles 25+ years ago. She was solid, smart, and

knew her stuff. She's an actual journalist. There are so few left now.
