Flailing doesn’t begin to describe the past 10 days for Tim Cahill. First, he lost his political advisors, then his running mate, followed quickly by his judgment. And now, sadly, he’s lost his dignity.
The Cahill campaign is engaged in strategery the likes of which we haven’t seen. When it comes to the decision making going on over at Cahill HQ, for once, the word astonishing can be properly applied. Tim wants us to know he won’t waste a half a tomato in the kitchen, but he WILL clog up the overcrowded criminal justice system with an utterly frivolous lawsuit.
Working for Tim Cahill sounds like Hotel California, you can check in but you can never leave. As a voter, I can’t decide which is less appealing, that he personally selected these people as his closest confidants, or that he thinks it’s a good idea to sue them a month before the election?
If Cahill can’t staff a campaign, how can he run state government, or Treasury, or Quincy city government for that matter?
In recent weeks he has to have been asking himself, why didn’t I wait another election cycle? Why jump as an independent when everyone knows I’m a lifelong Democrat? He put his political future on the line by leaving the Democratic Party and I think the realization that he’s blown a once promising career has made him snap. What other explanation can there be?
Again, as a voter, this behavior, denying the obvious, lashing out, acting irrational, doesn’t exactly inspire confidence in his leadership abilities.
It didn’t take a conspiracy for 90% of the state to support someone else for governor. It’s too bad this is how he’s decided to go out. Like his staff itself, this too is a problem of his own creation.
Tim should have asked Bob Crane if Treasurer for Life is a good gig or not.
