DeMS-13 message of hatred for America falls short in AZ
In a staunchly Republican district that elected Joe Arpaio as Sherriff for a generation, where 90% of the voters are white, and a huge number of them are retired, a district which Republicans traditionally carry by over 20 points, a black Democrat came within 5 points of winning the Congressional seat.
Remarkable!
Not really. I live in the district, and I'd bet money most of the people who live around me aren't even aware there WAS a election.
then i guess the republicans pissed away $1mm on ads to barely win a seat for five months.
good thinking on their part
When did I, or anyone, accuse the Republican Party of being filled with geniuses?
In this case, though, it actually was a good idea. With so few people paying attention, reaching the ones who could be convinced to go out and vote for their candidate pretty much required that kinda effort.
And holding onto the seat for five months means the difference between running an unknown newcomer in November, and running an incumbent.
