Great answers to all of our questions. I think you made a lot of friends today. And Todd, thanks to you too for coming by. I wish you would have been here earlier.</p> Jonathan, thanks for coming by today. Great answers to all of our questions. I think you made a lot of friends today.

When you say “Senator Gillibrand’s actual record flies in the face of the suggestion that she is in the pocket of the big corporations, banks and insurance companies”, by mentioning the “big corporations, banks and insurance companies” again you are just reinforcing the frame in peoples’ minds. Read Lakoff–it would help your candidate.</p> Todd: rather than debate that point which we can go around and around on, I’d actually like to give some advice.

Thanks for reminding me. I figure we’ll ask her about the concept of taking the kinds of money she’s taking from these special interests and still not falling into the kinds of traps that Democrats like Blanche Lincoln have fallen into– supporting them a little at a time.</p> I wasn’t, Todd.
