I don’t think the DCCC is too confident that Critz has it in the bag:
From Swing State Project - May 13.
“The DCCC has thrown down another $290,000 on media buys against Tim Burns, bringing their total investment in this race up to nearly $940,000.”
First order of business, drag Burns over the finish line in the Special Election to get the seat in GOP hands. Second order of business, KEEP it in GOP hands with whomever wins the GOP primary.
I hope Russell supporters will vote for Burns for the Special.
Stop worrying about it, of course they will. I live in this district and no Russell supporter, and I know plenty, is talking about not voting for Burns in the special. As a matter of fact the Russell campaign has had this to say;
"We have no animosity toward Mr. Burns, although we do think he was somewhat of an opportunist, jumping in after everything that has happened this past year. But we certainly do hope he wins the special election," said Russell spokesman Steve Clark. "We're not (endorsing) anybody. We're not running in the special election. We're running in the primary.""
Now that, randita, in local Republican politics here,is what is known as a noble gesture.

Well, that's what it will take, but I advise against anyone here sending him money, the guy's worth about 150 million bucks. He'll take your money and laugh his butt off all the way to the bank.
