Stunt Men: The other thing that happened yesterday was all the manufactured outrage and P.R. stunts. RNC Chair Reince Priebus held a press conference outside the World War II Memorial saying that the RNC would cover the costs for keeping the memorial opening over the next 30 days. Republicans jumped all over a Harry Reid quote trying to make it sound like he didn’t want to help cancer patients when the actual video appears to disprove that. And that came after Democrats on Tuesday hit Republicans for neglecting to fund the NIH. Pretty cynical stuff all around. But here’s the thing about PR stunts: They help you win a news cycle, but they don’t help you win the bigger argument. And the side that’s manufacturing the most outrage and employing the most PR stunts is usually losing. Just ask the Romney campaign… By the way, guess who wasn’t talked about the Reid comments or the WWII memorial issues yesterday -- the six folks in the White House meeting last night.
