The only thing I can find so far is a Washington Times story from early July that Dole is running like an incumbent, keeping a low profile and taking the high road because she has the most name recognition. But that can backfire if her supporters aren't energized to go to the polls and the purist conservatives are energized to go "show them" that outsiders ain't gonna tell us how to vote.
Either of you have any rising poll numbers for Snyder or sinking poll numbers for Dole to give credence to your gut feelings?
Or can you give me the name or website of a big North Carolina newspaper that I could browse in?
Her TV ads have made her the laughing stock of the state. Mama is living in our house. An extreme stretch of the truth, if not out and out lie. Liddy hasn't lived in North Carolina for decades and Bob never has. Slightly better than Hillary is a New Yorker. There are a lot of people who do not trust the Red Cross and leaders thereof. They know of the training of Liddy by Terry Sanford. And other reasons I won't go into here.
Snyder in the primaries. We'll think about what to do in the general election should Liddy take it.
This is EXACTLY what's looking to happen! Because so far as her supporters go... well, we're still trying to find them.
An incumbent will not be defeated unless he or she makes at least ONE big, controversial mistake in the eyes of his or her constituents. Voting record aside, Cleland has not. And Chambliss was not his opponent in '96, Guy Millner was. Miller will give Cleland enough cover so that conservative/moderate dems will vote for him. Cleland will win.
