Alex Castellanos Welcomes New "Purple" Competition

    Washington pans Lanny Davis, Michael Steele collaboration.

    Republican strategic Alex Castellanos, whose firm is called Purple Strategies, emails:

    Apparently, Lanny Davis and former RNC Chair Michael Steele are setting up a less-populated rival to our firm, Purple Strategies.

    Their offering is imaginatively called Purples Nation Strategies or Purple Nation Solutions, depending on the news report you read.

    We wish them well and hope they provide their clients with more effort and creativity than they displayed in launching their firm.

    Every time Lanny Davis and Michael Steele are introduced from "Purple Nation Strategies," I'm going to think "Purple Nurple Strategies"
