How about a 'no win' campaign pledge?

AG Peg Lautenschlager hoped to score a few points last week when she challenged her primary opponent, Kathleen Falk, to sign a "clean campaign pledge," most of which had little to do with running a clean campaign. And perhaps her idea was appealing to people who are tired of high-priced negative campaigns. (Lautenschager's against them because she thinks she will be outspent and that the negatives will be about her.)

The Falk campaign explains in an op ed in the Capital Times, Lautenschlager's biggest cheerleader, why that pledge was a bad idea and that Lautenschlager doesn't even seem to be carrying it out herself.

The trouble is that the author, Melissa Mulliken, talks about winning, which seems to be irrelevant to many hard-core lefties, so in their minds it may invalidate the points she makes. Read it here.
