Other than perhaps an issue of money, I don’t see why she shouldn’t be leading. Etheridge is in a GOP-leaning district, and had David Funderburk not screwed up with that driving mishap, he might still be in that seat today. Etheridge’s angry, thug-like reaction to the young man questioning him should be the final nail in his political coffin. If we can flush him out, take those other 3 seats, and maybe even Price & Brad Miller, all the better.
Weak candidate, amateur campaign imo. But I don't know that Etheridge has had a campaign worth mentioning. When's the last time he's had a race?
