Bullcrap from Bulldog

The Bulldog Finance Group, a Washington, D.C., management outfit for Democrats, produces gobbledygook that would make academic grantwriters jealous. Here’ in an especially dazzling example of the art, Bulldog explains its fundraising strategy:

Acting on this political paradigm, Bulldog Finance Group has developed a novel and cost-effective approach to fundraising for Democratic political campaigns and nonprofit organizations scaling local, state and national levels.

At the core, the diversity of our employees, whose backgrounds span politics, campaigns, communications, finance, marketing and research, drives our approach to political fundraising. Simply put, the synergies created by having a team of cross-functional experts allows us to formulate and execute dynamic fundraising strategies that closely represent the heterogeneous target audiences that we must reach.

Furthermore, by developing a meticulous understanding of the values, vision and ideals that shape our clients’ missions and agendas, Bulldog Finance Group is able to effectively design, grow and sustain important political relationships, create and syndicate clear communications and micro-target the maximum amount of obtainable capital – all of which are essential tactics to reaching fundraising success.

According to the Montana Streetfighter blog, Bulldog is advertising for a campaign manager for a Montana Senate campaign. It could be Bohlinger or Dirk Adams, but I suspect Bohlinger has a thick enough black book that he doesn’t need to advertise for a political topkick. Adams strikes me as much more likely to hire a headhunter.
