If Only the Celis Campaign Could Replace Celis

by Goldy — Thursday, 9/4/14, 7:05 am

Republican challenger Pedro Celis’s chances of toppling Eric Cantor just got a little bit better. To bad for him, though, that he’s running against Democratic incumbent Suzan DelBene:

After a shaky primary-election showing, Republican congressional candidate Pedro Celis has reshuffled his campaign, replacing his campaign manager and hiring a pair of young strategists who helped tea-party challenger Dave Brat beat House Majority Leader Eric Cantor earlier this year.

Brat’s campaign manager, Zachary Werrell, is now managing Celis’ campaign, replacing local Republican strategist Don Skillman, who had been campaign manager for the primary. Gray Delany, another Brat campaign staffer, is now Celis’ campaign spokesman.

Uh-huh. He can blame his former staffers all he wants, but the problem, according to people who have watched Celis in action, is that he is just an awful candidate. Flat. Unoriginal. Uninspiring.

This was supposed to be a competitive race: a first term Democrat in a midterm election being challenged by a well-financed Republican in a swing district. But the Republicans simply did not field a competitive candidate.

    Celis = El perrito de los oligarcos. He’s just a fucking tool.

    Replacing a local campaign team with out-of-state guys looks to me like a Hail Mary — using a trebuchet with pumpkins for ammunition.

    Petro is a great person and has a lot of integrity and intelligence. The two i’s make a great deal of difference. I am sure after David Brat’s win Zachary Werrell had his choice of campaigns to work for and he choice Petro as well as Petro choose him.
