This does not surprise me. Colonel Applegates campaign has caught fire here at the north end of San Diego County, just outside Camp Pendleton. Meanwhile Issa is flooding radio, TV, and mailboxes with anti-Applegate propoganda because he has money to burn. But as the Colonel says, you cant buy votes.
No link yet to the poll, but here is an excerpt from the Applegate campaigns e-mail:
This poll puts us at 46 percent and Issa at 42 percent. The lead is still within the margin of error, but it is a very good sign. This poll proves that what weve been doing is working. The phone banks, canvassing, and outreach events have helped us connect with more voters. The ads weve been airing have been effectively sharing the truth about Issas shameful record.
Getting to this position hasnt been easy. There were the personal attacks against Dougs family and then Issa threatened to sue us over an ad he didnt like. Through it all we have persevered and come out even stronger.
Issa may have money on his side, but you cant buy votes. We have the truth on our side. The 49th district wants change and a representative who will look out for them not himself and who has the same values of integrity and equality and will listen to their concerns.
