Who: Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y. What: King has sent out three emails to his supporters promoting news coverage about his possible presidential campaign, even as he denies having any serious interest in running. When asked why, King told
Politico
that, “mainly, it’s to get attention, and it works.”
Why it’s dim: King is a laudably frank individual, as his stark admission underscores. But this sounds like a cry for help. Why the sudden need for so much attention?
Cure: King should decide which job he wants.
