Tuke Be Trippin’: Invites Donors To Dine On Primary Night

Posted on July 30, 2008 at 11:40 am

Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Bob Tuke will allow supporters a rare window into his campaign’s inner workings on August 7th:

On primary night, we are offering you an unique opportunity – to dine with Bob Tuke in a behind-the-scenes strategy session with myself and Chief Strategist Joe Trippi in Memphis. Donate $50 dollars by Tuesday, August 5 at noon and you may be selected to attend a private political strategy dinner with us as well as have VIP backstage access to our Victory Party on primary election night.

If you’re selected, you will meet Tuke, Trippi, and Chao in Memphis right before the polls close. We will discuss the campaign strategy and the issues that matter most to you.

Not only does this seem to be a blatant homage to Barack Obama, it also stands out as a pretty marked shot across the bow at his opponents. Obviously, a “strategy meeting” on election night before the votes are counted reveals (or attempts to reveal) a certain confidence in victory.

One assumes, after all, that the “strategy session” would not involve the decision whether to stay in adoption law or switch to mergers and acquisitions after a loss.
