The Abramoff ads, the infomercial ads, to name two off the top of my pointy head. Unanswered quickly they will sink into the voters’ minds (I say it’s too late, they already have). I saw the exact same thing happen when Matt Salmon ran for Governor against Napalitano. He was accused of being pro-polygamy because he’s Mormon, and he figured he was “too good” to deny it.
Now, we have the worst DHS Secretary imaginable. And I have the unshakable belief the election was thrown. Leaving dirty accusations out there like that is unforgivable, and JD’s doing it now.
I think there is something very unusual about this McCain/Hayworth race. Unless very close to a candidate, or practically a political operative, few people ever try to keep up with a senate race for more than a few weeks before the voting day. I’ve been keeping up with this since late 2009, and I don’t even live in Arizona. Already about eight months and two more to go.
We’re just now arriving at the point where most voters will really start paying attention, with the vote still almost two months away. People here at FR probably feel like this race has been going all year, but the two debates aren’t until July 16 and 17. And JD’s TV ads will really start the first half of July.
There’s plenty of time for a lot to happen, unless Arizona voters are actually agree with all Juan’s positions I’m sure will be pointed out constantly starting pretty soon.
That Abramoff and infomercial stuff can be put to rest, and McCain has many skeletons also. He just started so early because he has so much cash on hand.
