The 2 weeks before the election is when they are won.
I've run campaings and that is when you win them.
Everything now is base building which Simon is doing a good job of, he's speaking up and down the state a number of days every week and has been since the primary.
The majority of the voters won't be interested or swayed one way or another until mid October and all the ads in the world will go straight over their heads at this point.
Davis is doing nothing with his ads now but attempting to hold hard core democraps from going Green. Those ads will have very little effect on people that are undecided.

I've been involved in a few campaigns too, and I agree that the last two weeks can be win/lose time. The Rats know that too, and they're masters at the last-minute scandal-smear. Remember Herschenson's strip show? Bush's 'secret' trip? Dubya's drunk driving incident? And dozens of others that left no time for the candidate to fully recover?
The attrition-type smear campaigns we're seeing these days are something different. Like the water torture the drip-drip-drips add up. And you'd be naive to think there won't be a Nasty Big Lie coming for Simon in the last 2 weeks of the campaign. Count on it.

It's worth noting that even after all Davis' ads, the beleaguered incumbent still couldn't break 48% in a Dem poll. But all anyone around here wants to do is talk about Simon's problems. LOL
