Nolan will probably lose, based on polls (I hope they are wrong) [View all]
If this will be true, I think that the DCCC (or whatever the acronym is) is to blame. Their campaigns are so negative that one is tempted to say "f**k you".
I don't remember previous years with so many ads and all the negativity. A few positive ads, by Nolan himself, really get lost.
Similar with Franken. There was a report that McFadden did not cause the closing of that plant in Montana and the loss of jobs. Still, this ad is still running.
Poor Nolan, he said, a few weeks ago, that there was nothing he could do about the negative ads. That if he would try to approach them it would be against the law.
There was a recent story in the WSJ -OK, the WSJ - about how white working men feel alienated by the Democratic party with the "giveaway" program. The story covered several locations, but started with an Aitkin crowd.
We were in California in late September and on occasions watched a news program and never seen any political ad, at least, not about candidates, only about ballot measures.
Will be glad when this is over. One way or another.
