So Nunnallee won over 50% (thus avoiding a runoff), yet somehow won only because “the conservatives killed one another”? And one of the “conservatives” in question was the gun-grabbing Angela McGlowan, who thinks that the federal government should mandate gun registration because there are a lot of racist kooks that want to kill Obama? I think that you must be mistaken regarding your assessment of the race.
But I agree with you re: Renee Ellmers; she’s a terrific candidate who can defeat Bob Etheridge.
Todd Young, Indiana’s 9th district: Young has the advantage of running in an R+6 district and the disadvantage of having only $259,000 in the bank while five-term incumbent Baron Hill has $1.1 million. Effective advertising in this district is more expensive than it might seem. The NRCC spent $1 million here in 2004 to knock out Hill; he won back the seat in 2006.
