That is not true. If it were the hottest race the next line would offer real proof that it is.. Like poll numbers or the size of crowds or media coverage or somthing that would tend to prove that it is a hot race. The only proof is that the challenger had twice as many signatures to get on the ballot as needed. That creates the opposite impression. In every camapaign I ever heard of they get twice as many signatures as are needed. It is easy to get twice as many as needed It does not impress anyone but amatuer dunder heads.
You attack a man who has been elected 6 times and promote a man whose main claim to fame is he aint the man who has been elected 6 times.
This story looks like an amatuer production.
First rule of thumb. Don't tell lies in an attempt to get support. It always backfires. This is not the hottest congressional primary race in America. The person that wrote the story lies and that person supports the challenger. Strike 1.
The way to get support is not to try to convice people your candidate is doing great when you haven't a clue. You get support by presenting your plight. You don't trash the man you are running against. You present his record in reserved terms and express sadness that it is the way it is. You are trying to throw out an incumbant. So you reluctanlty follow your conscience to do things for the good of the nation you would rather not do.
Implying that the incumbant is a bastard and that you are doing great against him sends all the wrong messages.
If this is indicative of your challenge you had best et used to being defeated. You are going to lose
Here's another one. Most of the people in this district stay home during congressional elections. Greenwood get's in by turning people off.

Where the hell did you ever learn trash like that? Do me a favor. Keep your inane advice to yourself.
In fact, the statement is stupendously ludicrous. No one is paying any attention to the race, and the right winger will get his ass whipped 2 to 1 just like last time. If he did win, he would be a general election loser.
When I think about a hot primary race on the congressional level I think about Dingle versus Rivers, or Mascara versus Murtha.
What a joke.
While the "hottest race in the country" label may be hype, the substance of the post is not a lie at all. The substance of the post is only an attack in the sense that it tells the truth about Greenwood. Greenwood's been elected 6 times, but so have many liberals. A liberal being elected is not an accomplishment to celebrate.
Greenwood's record is clearly liberal and often more liberal than that of Democrats. If the people of Bucks County want a liberal representing them, that's their choice. However, good Republicans should want to replace liberals with conservatives. Mr. Lingenfelter gives them that opportunity.
From personal experience, I know that Mr. Lingenfelter is not an extreme right-wing ideologue. He is a solid conservative with views that are mainstream even though liberals refuse to see them that way. He is an educated man who has lived an interesting life. His experiences should make him a great representative.
