Nope I am saying it's an ugly race all around. The Democrat (currently the state attorney-general) has made the race be about Haliburton. To the extent that she has been successful in this, you can see it as Bush being in trouble, see? Cause whatever else you want to say about Haliburton Heather, she is good at constituent services. She also votes a straight party line though, which she is denyng at the moment.
Meanwhile in the best tradition of Republican campaigns, the incumbent is dragging in a corruption scandal involving the state treasurer, saying that Madrid should have prosecuted. Madrid's side of that is that nobody brough the issue to her ::shrug:: So Heather isn't saying Patricia is corrupt... she is saying that she ignored the fact that the treasurer was corrupt. That he was is not really indispute that as far as I can recall he has not yet been found guilty. Hung jury at the first trial, second still in progress. But my point is that this is not really a national issue unless Madrid was in fact implicated, in which case it would go to character. Ten words or less - that you can come this close to unseating a popular incumbent is a measure of voter discontent. That's my point. >So the Democrat that's running for local office is running against Bush. Nice. >The Republican is pointing out the Democrat is corrupt.
