McMillan Unofficial Surrogate At Young Dems Convo: FAIL

By Kleinheider Posted on May 16, 2009 at 2:22 pm

Young Democrats attending their state convention today did not give a warm reception one Angela Danovi who spoke in favor of Kim McMillian’s gubernatorial campaign — at least on Twitter.

Ilissa Gold, Leah Kirk and Sean Braisted all remember Danovi from the 2008 campaign when she had the following to say about Barack Obama and her intent NOT to vote for him in 2008.

Danovi said she will not vote for Obama, but she’s not going to vote for John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee for president, either.

“I’m going to be voting present. I’m going in the voting booth, and I don’t plan on casting a vote for president. I will vote for other positions. Those are important,” she said.

Leah Kirk suggested a better surrogate for the campaign: McMillan campaign spokesman and young Democrat in his own right, Wade Munday.

When contacted about the Twitter comments Munday reports that he was unable to attend the convention personally because he is currently help a friend move. As for Danovi, Munday says her speaking role at the convention was not coordinated by the campaign and she is not an official spokesperson for Kim McMillan.
