RALPH REED AT ATLANTA PRESS CLUB: I swear that its perfectly Christian to take millions from one casino to lobby against a competing casino.
Ralph Reed is a long-time master of fiction. What J.K. Rowling has done for juvenile wizard stories, Reed has done for the myth that the Republican Party is a beacon of Christian decency. Despite his well earned reputation as a masterful teller of tales, its only recently that the Duluth political consultant has turned his attention to novels.
Reeds new book, Dark Horse, is a “political thriller” about a fictional presidential campaign featuring a black Democratic candidate, a loudmouthed minister and an assassination. Discussing the book at the Atlanta Press Club last Thursday, Reed said any parallels to the actual 2008 campaign are coincidental since he started the book years ago.
Asked about this years campaign, Reed said if the election is about style that Obama will win, but if its about substance that McCain will win. Never mind polls that show voters consistently agree more often with Democrats on policy issues. Once a tale-teller, always a tale-teller.
