Look terrible to think of this in politcal terms. Wish her the best, but this helps her not hurt her. Sympathy from Independents who decide late. Crap like this is how these worthless voters make up their minds. It will help not hurt. You must have been a person who thought Christine ad was good.
I totally afree with you. back in 2000, Carnahan was running against John Ashcroft and polls were showing that Ashcroft was going to win. Then Carnahan and his son died in a plane crash. I know alot of people who felt so bad for the widow Carnahan, they voted for her deceased husband, in sympathy.
I know nothing of the "Christine ad..." so I won't respond to your "a person who thought" comment other than to assume that it was not meant as a compliment.
By the way, although I will vote for Fiorina, it will be much like my vote for McCainiac, holding my nose.
Fiorina is running an ad that says she will not support her party when it is wrong, meanwhile the R word is hard to find in that ad. I won't go with the Rino thing, but there is that possibility.
Meanwhile I'm kinda old and it has been my experience that negative health issues are not normally a plus in a political campaign... Didn't seem to help Cheney's popularity much.
