When he spotted Elizabeth Warren’s media consultant at a national convention party for Democratic high-rollers, Phil Johnston could not contain his concerns over the Senate candidate’s television ads.
“Do you think you could run one ad in which she smiles?’’ the former Massachusetts party chairman asked Mandy Grunwald. It didn’t go over well. “She seemed to be quite offended,” he said.

Victory has a thousand fathers, defeat is an orphan. Prediction after the fact is always 100% accurate.
Personally, I had predicted the hurricane and Christy embrace more than a month ago. I should have mentioned it to someone but I didn't want to seem either arrogant or addled or both (they often go together). Which brings me to my last quote, one of my favorites, and it's from Mark Twain. "The older I get the more I clearly remember things that never happened."
You know if it weren't for Phil Johnston man would never have landed on the moon. Just ask him.
Mandy Grunwald or Phil Johnston? One is a well known, well regarded political and media superstar, with decades of top experience at state and national campaigns. The other, while certainly accomplished, ran once for Congress and lost. Senator-elect Warren's judgement seems pretty sound.
#1. Every time a politician moves their lips - they are lying.
#2. Tell a story enough times and it becomes truth, even to the story-teller.
* Phil Johnston didn't have to think too hard to tell this one.
Your words offend me as an American. I am sick of this cynical view of Politics as evil. Politics is the professional realization of all this country is about, namely DEMOCRACY.
Some politicians are not the best or most honest but then it is our job as the electorate to vote for someone else. That's what we did in this election.
It is exactly the kind of cynicism which your sick post represents that is the problem.
