Don’t even think there wasn’t cheating going on in Maricopa County
this recent Primary. I believe they cheated just like 2020.
However, Lake’s lead was beyond the margin of steal cheat.
Maricopa settled for narrowing the margin of victory for Lake.
This is why I do not care much about The Washington Examiner. Too many David M. Drucker's writing for them, as far as I am concerned.
She lost David, get over it. Katie Hobbs will be the next loser.
“Goodyear did not respond to an email requesting comment.”
He was too tired.
Where did Karrin Taylor Robson’s campaign get the $15.3 million plus to spend on an AZ gubernatorial election?
Did most of it come from out of state?
A lesson many pols should learn is that ad saturation annoys lots of voters, especially if they perceive the ads as disingenuous, unfairly negative, empty and vapid, or just a waste of time. Throwing away a fortune on ads signals that the candidate is in the thrall of consultants and big contributors, has weak judgment, thinks they can buy anything with someone else’s money — and that they would govern the same way. A few smart, interesting ads beat a slue of repetition.
I received at least 100 fliers for Robson. They went direct to trash. On the radio, I was and am more interested in someone being interviewed for an hour than on 100 ads screaming, “Fake Lake”.
In the end, it was endorsements by Ducey and Pence for Robson, combined with Robson’s horrible record on the Board of Regents (controlling the super liberal universities in Arizona) that caused me to vote for Lake.
I didn’t care about Trump’s endorsement, but the debate on FR’s Arizona board may have influenced me. I care more about what people on FR think than about what Pence (or Trump!) think.
Winning has little to do about money and a lot to do with message. A Trump endorsement helps too.
Hey, where are the “Pence’s influence is declining!” stories?
GOP Operative …. GOP Strategist ……. Translation……quasi Republican grifter/UNIPARTY/Establishment/Chamber of Commerce/RINO/CountryClub/NationalReview/Ryan-Cantor wannabe clown that makes a living telling a candidate what to do and say. And has no idea what regular people think or care about.
Kari Lake…..like the guy that supported her. Speak plainly. Take a position and defend it. And every once in a while, say some controversial things that will get you all the free air time they can give you. And don’t back down from the media.
The Lake Effect
Lake is a vocal proponent of Trump’s unsupported stolen election claims\
This from the WAShington EXaminer, a supposed “conservative” rag.
Kari, God Bless her, must be causing some acid indigestion.
GOOD FOR HER
Perhaps the Washington Examiner should spend $50,000 to hire a research person to look up how many times Kyl and McCain were elected? Kyl was elected three times and McCain six.
It took all of four minutes to find that out.
Made it closer in the end, but Lake already had a solidified base of support. She got exactly what she was polling at - 48% - most polls showed her at mid to upper 40s.
She also won by 5 points - meaning had it not been for ultra slow counting, this race would have been called on election night and she could have had a big victory speech and fanfare. She was robbed of it...for a supposedly “close” race - it was not that close with a 5 point victory - not a landslide - but 5 points is a solid victory.
If she gets outspent 18-1 in the general I would say she’s toast.
Why do wealthy people run for office? Only nefarious reasons.
