Diana is blessed with being in a "swing" district, it appears. How does a challenger mount a "ground game" in what is, at best, a 35% GOP seat? Doorbelling and phone spamming, I'm convinced, don't necessarily work and may not be the best use of resources.

Like the Colts, baby, you gotta get your points through the air!

I really think a very high percentage of folks are just apolitical and treat the ballot like an exam. "Name the Incumbent" and fill in the ScanTron.

Voters Pamphlet statements and pics help a lot, but, really, do the apolitical non-Freepers/Kossacks really read them?

I'm not necessarily despairing, but I'm a committed Groupie, too. Redstaters are so damned lucky when they get to choose between a libertarian (small L) and a conservative in their primaries to decide the seat. Color me jealous.
