McConnell for all his faults knows how to run a campaign. Hes the only Repub who has pulled away in what was a tie.
Meanwhile a guy like Tillis has actually lost ground to the Obama clone Hagan in NC. When she was considered the #1 walking dead Dem earlier this summer.
How Hagen has captured the lead is beyond me. She’s been pathetic for almost 6 years. Why do they expect anything differently?
Elections are usually won by pros. Why, because they are good at what they do, just like any other endeavor. For as long as I can remember, the amateur candidate usually gets their head kicked in on election day. We need candidates who are both good on the issues, and good politicians. Neglect any one of those factors, especially the good politician part, and we end up nominating losers. Just like sports, no MLB team is going to bring someone from the stands in to pitch or play shortstop. We as hopefully mature adults should stop getting all excited about amateur hour candidates. We need conservative candidates who know how to play the game.
