The seat is not a goner. The Republican candidate will likely win unless he's lying sack of crap like Huffman. I'd take Hellon WAY before I would accept Huffman.
Graf has raised more than 3 times what he raised 2 years ago. Yes, in comparison to Huffman and the massive fundraising machine that Kolbe and the good-old-boys plugged him in to, that's not much. But it came mostly from grassroots Republicans sending in $10's and $20's individually. Graf is a principled conservative candidate who appeals to the grassroots and that's why he deserves support and to win the election.
Look, I am a Graf-type guy and I hope he wins the primary.
But I also think he'll lose the general.
