Campaign signs show grass roots for West, very active. It looks to me like the Klein campaign has paid operatives or union operatives putting out their signs, because they don’t bother to put them up on their own, they only put them where a West volunteer has put one up, but they get most prominent West signs matched by a Klien sign so it looks like a race. Not much to go on but that’s my little take from the district. We are all juiced up here at FR but have to remember that most people just watch FOX or the evening news, so they have limited involvement and are susceptible to the negative ads and astroturf. Lots of Jewish voters in the district will support Klein both because he’s Jewish and Democrat, only 3% of the district is black, so it really will be a tighter race than West deserves (or Klein with his 98% support of Pelosi). Klein has been advertising more than West on the TV and radio from what I’ve seen so far; hopefully that means that West has a lot to spend on a final push. Klein is focused completely and totally in his advertising in smearing West and the ads are effective in my opinion.
So . . . help if you can!
