I thought when he announced that Cotton might be trying to move too fast. He hasn’t even finished his term as state Rep before jumping into the Senate race.
Pryor & associates have been running some very negative ads.
One claims Cotton took evil corporate money. [Uhhh, salary? Of course, the ad doesn’t specify that. How much corporate money has Pryor received? But I digress.]
Such partial truth ads feed the LIVs who don’t bother to check the facts.
Pryor runs another ad claiming that Cotton voted against Medicare and voted to extend the age to qualify to 70. Pryor doesn’t tell voters that he voted for Obamacare, which uses Medicare funds to pay help pay for it.
Cotton needs some more effective come-back ads. His ad in response to Pryor’s snide remark about Cotton’s military service was weak and silly.
Maybe Cotton is holding out, waiting until closer to the election. But he definitely needs to improve the quality and content of his ads.
You’re needlessly panicking. J. William Fulbright served just one term in the U.S. House before he managed to knock off the venerable incumbent Senator Hattie Carraway. Pryor is extremely vulnerable and he knows it. This poll is bollocks.
The only thing Cotton can be hit on is the intervention in Syria and Ukraine.
I don’t know if it will play out in November.
If Boehner sends an immigration bill to the Senate he is giving Pryor, Landrieu and Hagan a chance to safely vote against it.
GOP always start putting on their ad’s late in the campaign.
