Losing Oregon: Does the NRSC Vet Its Candidates?
redstate.com ^ | 5/19/14 | Erick Erickson

I think the NRSC would much prefer beating up conservatives in 2014 than win the Senate. The NRSC has spent so much time and money attacking conservatives and running smear and whisper campaigns about them, we now have another candidate they did not vet.

We have lost Oregon with Monica Wehby. She seemed to be a good candidate with a great ad that neutralized her pro-choice positions. She was impressive. In fact, with a mail in election, Monica Wehby is going to be the GOP’s nominee in Oregon.

But there is this 911 call from her husband back in 2007. Oh, he is ready for bygones and forgiveness and moving on, but it is here.

Wait . . . wait . . . wait, you say. That was 2007. This is old. She can be given a pass. There was a lot of melodrama there.

Except there is another 911 call. This one is from last year.

Monica Wehby’s boyfriend called 911 claiming she was stalking him. Sure, he regrets calling 911 now. I can see that ad. “I never should have called 911 to say Monica Wehby was stalking me.”

Meanwhile, the Democrats can just run that 911 tape over and over.

“I had a relationship with her and the relationship has ended, and she is very, very upset and angry,” Miller told the dispatcher. “She’s been coming to my workplace. She’s been phoning inappropriately to my employees.”

Oh yes, he mentions her name too.

The Democrats have to defend every seat they can and they absolutely will be able to defend Oregon now. The ads write themselves.

How do you know what she did? She bugged her bf who dumped her so he called the cops. It’s a “really big deal these days” blah blah blah. We better start dealing with reality, sometimes people get upset over a break up. Big deal. Has anything been done about the democrat’s behavior? Please now we have the tyranny of “someone called the police about you”.

People dial 911 to deter everyone these days in every situation. They call when their McDonalds order is wrong.

Then again, maybe she’s a wackadoo.

Did they say she hit them? threatened them? I mean this standard of if people called there must have been something serious - who knows, but someone calling the police is a mighty low standard of “scandal”.

It doesn’t matter. Two guys, same charge, and unless you can prove they got together to screw her over by calling about the same thing five years or so apart, then there is enough smoke there to think there is a fire.

It’s not my standard, either. Doesn’t someone in the GOP sit down and say, “We think you’re the one. Now fill this out. We are going to be with you a while to help you fill it out. The first forms give us legal permission to tear your past apart looking for reasons why you won’t win should you run. We are about to invest a boatload of our donor’s money in you, and we need to do our due diligence.”

The D’s do it. Very well I might add. When the find something, and since being a whackadoodle isn’t a barrier to public office (adultery, communism, homosexuality, shady business dealings may keep you from a security clearance, but not from public office for democrats) they know how to leak it so that the damage is either minimal or non-existent. It helps that the entire 4th estate across all mediums is uniformly liberal.

Ailes proved there is money to be made in conservative media projects. Joel Surnow continues to prove that. That no conservative money goes into it is still a mystery to me.

The timing of this story is just a little too convenient.
