Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) about Debbie Wasserman Schultz: "It shows a certain level of desperation"

TAMPA, Fla. -- It's common to spot GOP politicians wandering around the Republican National Convention, talking to reporters and doing interviews in the area known as "radio row." South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former Florida Sen. Mel Martinez have all stopped by. But on Thursday, a rarer species was turning heads: Democrats.

Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who also happens to be a Florida congresswoman, was on radio row doing several interviews, including with KPCC and WYNC. Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) was accompanied by activist Sandra Fluke, who became famous after right-wing radio host Rush Limbaugh attacked her for her stance on contraception insurance coverage. The latter two are in town for the day for a women's rights event, at which Wasserman Schultz is also speaking.

"It shows a certain level of desperation," he said. "Tradition is pretty much that each party holds a convention, and they get their three or four days in the sun."

In the middle of his comments to HuffPost, Wasserman Schultz walked by, followed by a big group of reporters.

I'm sure the RNC will do the same, you mindless twerp.

Almost every RW post on wral.com was using that same word: desperation.

They were also pushing the meme that Obama's for the amendment was because Obama this time can't raise enough money.
