Note from Erick: Brian Walsh asked if I’d put this up as a response to Leon’s from this morning.

One of my responsibilities is to work to set the public record straight, particularly when I see yourself and others publishing items that are simply not accurate.   This tends to happen when you don’t take the time to ever contact the subject you’re writing about.
 
Unfortunately, I note that this pattern continues here in your post above – you write, “the indisputable facts (which Walsh dances around, in typical comms shop style) are that the DeVore campaign has sent at least four communications to John Cornyn or his staff requesting a meeting with the Senator, all of which have been either ignored or rebuffed.” 
 
The problem is that your statement is contradicted by a story in The Hill newspaper this morning which you can read here — And please note this sentence in particular – “DeVore’s campaign acknowledges that it didn’t formally request a meeting until last week.”
 
Unfortunately this isn’t the first time we’ve seen this.
