Rob Jesmer’s No Good, Low Down, Terribly Bad, Really Awful Strategy Continues

Let’s review.

The Executive Director of the NRSC, Rob Jesmer, lines up the Republican Establishment to stand behind Arlen Specter over Pat Toomey.

Specter bolts.

Rob Jesmer then tries to get Tom Ridge in. Ridge refuses. The NRSC tries again in an “anybody but Toomey” bid. They fail.

Toomey is the guy.

In Florida, Rob Jesmer convinces Charlie Crist to leave the Governor’s Mansion and open up a gubernatorial primary where there had been none. Crist, at the NRSC’s behest, gets in against the Latino guy because while the GOP needs Latino faces, Jesmer calculates we don’t need a Latino like Rubio who Jesmer concluded was not viable.

We know how that is going.

In Colorado, the NRSC pushes Jane Norton into the race. She can’t make it through the Republican Assembly, has to bypass conservative activists who will be the primary voters for a costly signature drive, and has already had to shake up her campaign once.

And that, my friends, brings us to the unmitigated disaster unfolding in Indiana where the NRSC ultimately loses even if it wins. All thanks to Rob Jesmer.

Let’s be fair and objective. Dan Coats, the former Senator, is the front runner. Coats was woo’ed to get into the Indiana race when Evan Bayh dropped out. Were the election held tomorrow, Dan Coats would probably win. That’s realistic, but it is also clear on the ground the momentum is clearly with Stutzman.

Rob Jesmer could have rallied everyone to one of the candidates already in the race planning to run against Bayh, but Jesmer decided there was no need to stand with someone already fighting the good fight when the NRSC could draft a lobbyist who lived in North Carolina who had once been an Indiana Senator only to give up his seat to . . . wait for it . . . Evan Bayh.

Coats has high name ID. People forget just how terrible he was on the second amendment, nuclear power, offshore drilling, and the like. Then there is the fact that Dan Coats hasn’t lived in the state for over 10 years and has been a lobbyist in DC for everything from bank bailouts to internet regulation to hostile foreign governments.

But it’s all good because Coats is leading in the primary based on fond memories of the man voters thought they knew. And more importantly, he is not one of those full bore icky conservatives like Pat Toomey or Marco Rubio. Yes, conservative — but not one of those types.

But there is a problem people are only just starting to notice.

Coats can’t raise money. The bottom for Coats was supposed to be $500,000.00 and he barely cleared $300,000.00.

Marlin Stutzman rallied conservatives to him from RedState to Mark Levin to Dave Keene to Jim DeMint. Even the NRA is praising Stutzman and knocking Coats.

So Coats has had to run to DC for a last minute fundraiser. He is taking resources that could be spent elsewhere and diverting them to a supposedly easy primary win in Indiana — never mind the general election.

Now Coats is having to loan himself $200,000.00 in addition to the fundraiser.

This was supposed to be easy. This was supposed to be cheap. Now the NRSC is going to have to spend large sums to take a must win-should win seat that is no guarantee with Coats as the nominee.

And if Coats should pull it off? We’ll be fighting it out again in six years. He quit the Senate once and he isn’t getting any younger.

If the NRSC was going to have to invest its resources in Indiana anyway, it might have been smarter to invest in a younger candidate who might just stick around for a while. But not Rob Jesmer. Why invest long term when all you are interested in is 2010?

Meanwhile, the Democrats are stockpiling millions to spend in Indiana.

    Or are we as a party doomed to this moron’s constant cutting us off at the knees?

    This is a PROBLEM. The grass roots on our side is as motivated as it’s been in a decade. Independents are swinging our way.

    And yet these inside men keep wasting resources!

    It’s clear to me that Jesmer should be shown the door. And soon.

    The only counter we have is to support our candidates (Stultzman especially) directly.

  • Deskpilot

    Follow the money comes to mind.

    For me, I am watching who has the momentum, not the NRSC $.
    NRSC doesn’t/hasn’t gotten a nickel from me. Direct support of the candidate whom you believe to be the BEST representative of your value is the only one you need to support.

  • peg_c

    I’m gobsmacked how completely wrong every time this Jesmer character seems to be. He HAS to be a Dem in disguise. There is no other conceivable explanation.

    THIS RIGHT HERE is the kind of bullcrap the Tea Party movement is fighting!!

    Who picks the leadership of the NRSC how do we change it ?
    Do these guys pay attention to the news ?

    We want fresh blood.
    We want to rise up.

  • proudgop

    If these so called grassroots are really for Bucks and Stutzman why have their fundraising been so weak? Getting an endorsement from DeMint isn’t mojo

  • dudette

    and individual candidates. WHo has the power to fire Rob Jesmer the great RINO? WHo is his boss????

  • eheassler

    It seems to me that Jesmer is more interested in electing “milquetoast” Republican candidates that are part of the mushy middle and can’t be distinguished from Democrats most of the time; sort of like John McCain and Lindsey Graham. He is looking for the most expedient victories in 2010 even if it means voting in party hacks like Coats and Crist who would rather “go along and get along” than stand on any conservative principles. Stutzman and Rubio are the types of new conservative blood that we need in Congress and Jesmer is blind to it. If Toomey, Stutzman, and Rubio are elected which I hope they will be, Jesmer is certainly adding to his enemies base. The Republicans should do themselves a favor and get a chairman that is more reflective of the Tea Party attitude, grow a spine and support candidates of principle who truly want to change the way things are done in the cesspool we are calling Congress.

    I no longer give money to the Republican leadership. Period. I give directly to the candidates.

    With technology, it’s now possible to WORK for good candidates across state lines. Last night I made phone calls to Indiana voters to get out the vote for Marlin Stutzman. I live in New York City ten minutes from the Empire State Building.

    You TOO can donate $$$ to Stutzman’s campaign!

    You TOO can donate time and make get-out-the-vote phone calls from your home!

    Go to www.GoMarlin.com; click to donate money or time — or BOTH.

  • zollistar

    A loan officer’s sole concern in a bank that plans an immediate off-load of its loans is getting the loans: their quality is irrelevant. Indeed, in this scenario, a loan officer doesn’t even think in terms of loan qualilty.

    Jesmer is probably in this mold. If the person has the letter “R” behind his or her name, that’s good enough for Jesmer. An “R” with name recognition is even better.

    Never mind the past voting record, actions, choices or decisions or the person.

    Just my two cents.

  • rossputin

    Erick,

    You are misrepresenting quite a few things in Colorado.

    First, it’s far from clear that the NRSC “pushed” Jane Norton into the race.

    Second, it’s absolutely FALSE that she could not have made it through the assembly. Both the Norton campaign AND the Buck campaign were confident that Jane already had the delegates in hand to get on the ballot — maybe even the top line — at the assembly. So the decision was based on other things.

    Third, and perhaps most importantly, to even indirectly compare Jane Norton to Arlen Specter or Charlie Crist is ridiculous. Norton is not a RINO, not a “squish” and would simply never be seen hugging Barack Obama in thanks for a bailout and never be seen switching political parties to try to avoid a primary. She is, in my view after having spent a couple of hours discussing issues with her face-to-face, a smart, principled solid conservative.

    I like Ken Buck and I understand people supporting him. I’ve given him time on my radio show and in my blog. But it’s something else entirely to write untruths about Jane Norton who is every bit as reliable a conservative (in my view) as Mr. Buck and who deserves serious consideration by Colorado voters, especially if they want to have a conservative Republican win in the general election.

    While Colorado would be in good hands with either Norton or Buck as senator, I believe Jane Norton is the more electable of the two. This is not a situation like Crist vs. Rubio (by the way, I donated to Rubio almost as soon as he entered the race).

    In recent weeks, Jane Norton has been defined (in the eyes of many of the public who don’t know her) by negative ads, mostly funded by one guy who is the president of a large company that is getting stimulus money and has plenty of gov’t contracts. Norton and her campaign made a mistake by not fighting back, but I would expect that to change with the hiring of State Senate Minority Leader — and nobody’s shrinking violet or RINO — Josh Penry as the new campaign manager. It’s been, as one insider told me, something like being in a boxing ring and keeping your hands down. But no longer.

    Erick, I would respectfully suggest that you should speak with Jane Norton before continuing down this path of attacking someone based on false innuendo, much less putting out more such innuendo yourself. If you got to know Jane Norton a little bit, I think you’d change your tune about her — even if you still decided you wanted to support Ken Buck.

    Most sincerely,

    How can the Republican establishment hope to revive a type of contract with America, when they obviously can’t pass the first step of a meeting of the minds? It’s like hiring a house painter and telling him you want red, and he brings blue to the job site.

    The rise of the tea parties, Christie, Brown, Rubio, as well as the solid showing of other fiscal, small government candidates, seems oblivious to the established party.

    I have read that bureaucracies exist to grow the bureaucracy and that they contain two types of people: those who work to maintain and grow the bureaucracy, and those that work for the mission. The former generally end up running the organization.

  • michiganwolverine

    One way to fight back against the Jesmer problem is to take a black sharpie and write down why you are not sending any $ directly to the NRSC. You can do this on the mailers they send you asking for your donation. Tell them NO. Tell them WHY-Crists, Coats, Specter, JESMER. Then let them know WHO you support and that you will be donating directly to that candidate. If they get enough of these mailers returned with no money and Sharpie comments, they will finally get the message.

  • johnt

    why. I’ve met a few, I’m sure some here have as well. Politics is something they do, the unexamined life you might say. For most, the enemy is in their own party, the rest of the time they are offering their surrenders to the Democrats. Bi-partisanship is just so in.
    I doubt if there is anyone they detest more then Sara Palin.

  • Bob_Miller

    The last time I checked, voters could still choose whichever candidate they wished. The national party organization is free to put up candidates and the grass-roots Republicans are free to reject them in favor of those with the right stuff. If enough are rejected, the national party organization will get the point or be replaced.

  • zollistar

    In addition to donating — and working — directly for good candidates, I’m going grab my sharpie next time I get another solicitation from the “leadership”, write down my big NO and give my WHY in shorthand: Crist, Coats, Specter…JESMER.

    Thanks for the advice!

  • RINKER

    Call your Senator (if he/she is a Republican, of course), and DEMAND that John Cornyn be replaced after the 2010 elections. He wants another term at the NRSC, and we need to lobby for a new chairman.
    Who? My senator, Jeff Sessions, would be good.
    Others:

    Jim DeMint
    Pat Toomey
    Marco Rubio

    I don’t think Toomey or Rubio would go over since they will be new. Sessions or DeMint?

    I got a fund-raising e-mail from Jesmer which to my surprise, when I hit Reply, showed his return address. Here is what I sent him as a reply and copied the NRSC e-mail address (info; not a person, but it will have to do):

    “Here is a suggestion on how to come up with tens of thousands of dollars in an instant. What I read about Rob Jesmer on various conservative blogs suggests he ought to be fired. That will save you lots of money to send to worthy Senate candidates. I sent my money to Marco Rubio and Marlin Stutzman and Pat Toomey. Directly, not through you. I plan to keep it that way. By the way, has Ron Jesmer talked to Charlie Crist yet about not running as an independent? Maybe he should?”

  • gunslingr45

    I also use a marker to send no money to the NRSC. If I get the usual email from them, I just blast them for being “progressive conservatives” And then I tell them that phrase should be an oxymoron if it isn’t already.
    I also tell them Obambi will get my hard earned free dollars before they will.

  • colawman

    I believe Norton’s entry into the race was engineered by the NRSC. Why else would they NRSC reserve two domain names for her before she entered the race? Her early donor list was crowed with John McCain and NRSC senators (10 to be exact) as well as their PACs. Norton is trying to undo the facts.

    Rossputin’s claim that both campaigns were confident Norton could make it through the assembly with Norton perhaps receiving top line for the primary. That is a patently false statement. Norton withdrew from the assembly because they knew she did not have the delegate support and could not afford another defeat, like she unexpectedly suffered in the state precinct straw poll. This poll involved 25000 registered Republicans and Buck squeaked by Norton to everyone’s surprise.

    When Buck started receiving ovations and boisterous support at forums while Norton received polite golf claps her campaign began questioning their viability. My guess is their commissioned polling showed she was at risk of even receiving the 15 % needed to stay in the race.

    Her and Penry’s coming out party in Grand Junction (their hometown) was an embarassment to the campaign. The GJ Sentinel kindly reported 50 people in attendance. It flopped and sent a clear message her campaign has not taken roots. Penry’s her savior? You fail to mention that coloradopols.com ripped him apart for his juvenile comments (BFF) and false statements.

    Norton today on PPC claims Buck is the Washington insider, not her. Come on! They have taken up the attack but in a childish and less than factual manner.

  • libertyatstake

    I honestly do not believe this insider stuff matters in 2010. Principled conservative voters are activated nationwide – and smart enough to support principled conservative candidates be they (R), (T), or (I) in the primary or the general. I am already convinced (R) + (T) + (I) in a conservative caucus will be a congressional majority after November. If the GOP wants to remain relevant, they better start listening to Jim DeMint more.

    First, I do not doubt at all that Jane was encouraged by the NRSC to get into the race with promises of support. I have that on credible authority.

    Second, all the news reports were that Ken has the support of the Republican Assembly locked up, so Jane is having to bypass it.

    Third, Ross is right. Jane is a perfectly fine candidate and I want to be very careful not to tear her down, but build Ken up. I think Ken is a much better candidate, but Jane is far from a bad candidate.

  • seethelightbefree

    There are a lot of good conservative candidates for us to choose… and the point of the article is well made in regards to Rob Jesmer’s dismal record… I have personally written to both the NRSC and the RNC withdrawing my support from each until they elect new leadership… having said that, I appreciate this post as respectful and thoughtful contrast as Colorado has several Republicans that would represent conservative values and though some RINOs are justifiably called out, I’m not sure Jane Norton fits this mold…

  • http://www.nighttwister.com NightTwister

    And to say so is patently false. It was looking like this might happen early on, but we were assured by the State GOP Chairman (Dick Wadhams) that the NRSC was not going to get involved. Whether that meant they were and backed off, or were not ever is still unclear and will likely never be definitively resolved.

    As for John McCain, you are aware that the Nortons are close family friends with the McCains, right? Sarah Palin has worked for McCain’s campaign in AZ. Does that make her a RiNO? See, this is the reason that you start hearing things like the BFF comment. Buck’s team is insistent that they tie Norton to McCain (no love lost for McCain in CO) that they’ll try anything. If you’re going to bring up associations with others, then all associations are on the table.

    You can shill for Buck all you want, but let’s keep it accurate when it comes to Norton.

    And Coloradopols? That’s rich. Do you get your national talking points from HuffPo and dKos?

  • IJB

    Though the issue is more complex than that.

    When there are *no* candidates, of course the NRSC and the NRCC should beat the bushes to get someone to run. (And when the local Parties *botch* things, the Committees should *demand* ‘do overs’ – see: NY-23.)

    But what if there’s already one candidate running? How about 2? What if there are already *5* candidates running?! Then the issue of the committees’ involvement becomes much more problematic.

    And, no matter what, while the Committees should (sometimes) recruit, they should NEVER stick their thumbs on the scale so that their “preferred” candidate(s) get unfair “breaks” in the primary race (see: FL).

  • saltlick

    I’ve been responding to donation letters for several years now by writing on them and mailing them back as has been suggested.Yes, let’s keep it up.

    On the other hand, reshaping the GOP into a conservative party will also take “boots on the ground” — becoming active with our local unit committee and helping elect local officers and candidates. That will take a lot more time and effort than scrawling on and returning a postage paid envelope.

    The Left has worked steadily for 40 years to create an environment that could bring about a Barack Obama and this Congress. We must dedicate ourselves to a similar long term struggle if we are to defeat them. The American Revolution lasted 8 years. And it was years after the war was over that we finally got a workable Constitution.

    I know — I was hoping for a restful retirement, too. :-) But our country calls.

  • 1stsgt

    I am not really into the ways of politics. I just listen and check voting records and such, then I vote for the person I believe to be the best for the job. It appears to me that this Jesmer character should be put out to pasture as he seems to be wordking for the demorats. I also believe that John Cornyn should join him in that pasture. I am also not voting for Hutchison either. Need new ideas and people in office.

  • geezer840

    Let me know how to get off the NRSC mailing list. I’ve called and sent e-mails. I spoke with them some time ago about Charlie Crist and was told that they were not going to drop their endorsement of him and would remove my name. Still getting requests for money.
    As a one-time contributor I too will contribute directly to conservative candidates.

    you can tell them what you think. I still get “this is your last chance or be removed” type mail plus phone calls which I use as an opportunity to tell them exactly why I no longer donate to them or any PAC that does not support conservative candidates like Rubio & Toomey. Then I ask them if they can guarantee that no contributions will be sent to RINO’s like Snowe or Collins. When they can’t, I let them know that I donate directly to conservative candidates of my choice or to PAC’s like the Senate Conservatives Fund. They tell me they’ve been hearing that a lot, so maybe sooner or later it’ll have an effect. Next time they call, I intend to tell them that I won’t give until I can be sure my money won’t be spent at stripper clubs, fancy hotels and expensive dinners for Steele and/or other staffers. I don’t expect them to work for free, but if I can’t afford it, they shouldn’t enjoy it at my expense.

    …Jane Norton’s views aren’t antithetical to ours. The Colorado Senate race is not the Florida Senate race.

    If anything, the fact one of Ken Buck’s largest donors is employees of a company receiving stimulus funds should be of some concern.

  • eburke

    so my apologies if it came off that way. I was referring in particular to Bob’s ‘so what’ attitude toward the NRSC and other Republican organizations repeatedly backing moderates over conservatives.

    It *is* a big deal, IMO, because early money is important and these are the same a@@hats who expect the conservative base to man the phones and pound the streets on behalf of Republicans while giving those same Republicans the golden shower when it comes to backing candidates that conservatives wish to support. They either need to quit referring to themselves as ‘Republicans’ or quit asking conservatives to support them.

  • rossputin

    First, I didn’t say that nobody at NRSC talked to Jane; I just don’t know, but it’s not a bad guess that someone did. My point was that’s not the same as “pushing” her into the race. Anyway, this is the least important of my points.

    So, second, you guys are gonna just have to take my word for it (or not, as you choose) that I KNOW FOR A FACT that both campaigns believed Jane already had enough delegates in hand to get on the ballot at the campaign. It’s not just my opinion. I simply am not at liberty to elaborate and you are free to believe me or not as you choose.

    Finally, I’m not here to tear down Ken Buck. I like Ken Buck and I think he’d be a good Senator even though we disagree on a couple of things (such as hate crimes laws). My point is that Jane is getting a very bad rap based on incorrect inferences from negative innuendo — innuendo which is NOT coming from Erick but which is implicitly supported when Erick doesn’t say “I like Ken better than Jane but Jane is no Charlie Crist.” I’m very glad Erick did just say something similar.

    Jane at least deserves to be heard rather than being dismissed based on lies about her not being a conservative.

  • colawman

    I see that you did not chose to respond to the points that were brought out by Coloradopols, you chose instead to attack the messenger by asking if I get my talking points from the far left blogs.

    Clearly Penry’s email that was addressed in the Coloradopols was replete with twisted facts. For example while employed at the US Attorney’s office Strickland was appointed the US Attorney for Colorado. So yes he did work for Strickland. What about Penry’s failure to mention that Jane Norton’s husband actually hired Ritter. Since you post regularly on PPC you read Donald Johnson’s investigation into Ken Buck’s reported increase in his budget by 50%. I think Donald’s article actually ended by stating that he believed Ken would be one of the most fiscally conservative Senators if elected.

    What about Penry’s claim it is Buck who is the Washington insider not Jane. I believe you have even commented on Norton being quite the Washington insider.

    The comment about Ken’s funding coming from a large construction firm that received stimulus funds is a nice shot but it pales in comparison to the PACs that have contributed to Norton’s campaign: Intel Corp., McAndrews and Forbes Holdings, US Airways, and Aecom. that have received stim funds. I might add that most major construction companies all received stim funds through tax incentives. So basically if you were building as a living you received stim funds by way of tax incentives that allowed them to recoup previous years taxes.

    I have the utmost respect for your talents nighttwister and read your stuff religiously, but your attack on “shills” is uncalled for.

  • http://www.nighttwister.com NightTwister

    I apologize.

    Rather that respond to your points, I’m just going to say this:

    There is so little difference between Norton and Buck on the issues, experience, and track record, that I would be very happy with either one. Both sides have been taking cheap shots, and I don’t like it from either side. All it’s going to do it remove legitimate issues that could’ve been used against Bennet, and give him annunition to use later against whoever wins, making it harder to defeat him.

    This is one of those races that the national groups should step back and just let the voters of Colorado decide. They aren’t going to though, because they have a different agenda, and we’re being used as pawns in their grand scheme.

    As for Coloradopols, I won’t respond to anything they post. Sure, even a stopped clock is right twice a day, but it’s not worth the effort to check.

    and the Party generally is for thousands and thousands and thousands of conservatives across the country to flock into the Party at the grass roots level to become voting members of it — precinct committeemen. Anything else is just shouting from the bleachers like at a football game. The ball game is played by the precinct committeemen. HALF these slots were vacant nationwide in the Party nationwide in the 2008 election cycle. Want better, more conservative Party leadership? Then YOU — yes YOU — need to get your rear to your local GOP committee meeting and drag every conservative you know along with you.

    It’s a pure numbers game. We get lame leaders because too many of us are sitting at home the night of the monthly committee meeting rather than attending, learning the ropes, and expending the little bit of time and effort it takes to become and serve as a precinct committeeman. It’s that simple.

    We need to quit blaming “the Party” and get into the trenches and fix things. By making “the Party” what we want it to be.
