GOP tossing out journalists?

POSTED BY MALCOLM RAY, MAY 02 2008 11:07 AM | PERMALINK

Minnesota's Republican Party seems very camera-shy. Over the past several months Republicans have prevented journalists from recording their candidates at events. The latest incident was rather dramatic as Gavin Sullivan was tossed out of the Republican convention for district 42B for shooting video.

The Uptake shows us Gavin Sullivan's video and talks to another journalist who has been tossed out twice from Republican events. Here's Gavin Sullivan, a citizen journalist, trying to cover the Minnesota...

More from our Ground Hounds: This time we ask, who are the folks in the overflow crowds when a presidential hopeful comes to town? These are some of the people who waited outside a Denver car dealership hoping for a chance to see Mitt Romney, even though they couldn't hear the speech.

... we mean Romney. Oops.

Last night, the Michigan GOP sent out its standard congratulatory note to the primary's winner, only it seems they got the wrong guy. From the AP:

The Michigan Republican Party mistakenly sent out a news release Tuesday night congratulating John McCain for winning the state's GOP primary.

It quickly issued a second statement praising Mitt Romney for his win.

"Heading into tonight, this race was too close to call, so we prepared a release for either scenario," state...

Rudy a Lefty? Yeah, Right. [WaPo] It starts out like this: "If you like President Bush, you'll love a President Giuliani." And it's worth reading on - namely because half the people I know who have spent the last eight years viciously complaining have actually said they wouldn't mind a President Giuliani. As a New Yorker, the whole idea of it makes me shiver. And this strange split is just what David Greenberg picked up on. "You wouldn't know it from reading the papers, but the favorite to...
