Good post. There are also things to consider on the Dem side. They had written this seat off. Coons was a sacrificial lamb. Now, with the number of Dem incumbents in serious trouble, how much help are they going to be able to give to Coons? For a seat they had written off anyway? They may be ‘ahead in fundraising’, but that’s meaningless when you look at the number of races that are in serious peril. And as a second-tier candidate, his fundraising base is probably not very large.
Then again, she’s not exactly rolling in cash either.
The biggest problem here is that our own guys are going around and calling her too extreme to win. The financial stuff is small potatoes. It’ll be yesterday’s news by the end of the primaries and useless to her opponent.
I wrestled with this one, because I didn’t trust some of her answers on a few things, but supporting Christine is the right thing to do. Sometimes, doing the right thing makes it harder to win, but if you don’t, you lose anyway.
Very spot on analysis. Good to hear from you again.
