I agree with Mangia E Statti Zitto's opinion. If you still lived in NC, you would realize that Tillis is not really a bad candidate. He is very articulate and impressive in person. He has not only been bombarded with ads paid for with out-of-state money, but the legislature was also VERY late adjourning this year and Tillis could not actively campaign or raise money while it was still in session. Also, ever since the Republicans took the reins of government two years ago, the NAACP and other left wing groups have been conducting "Moral Mondays" of protest at the legislative building. Hagan has profited from the lies these people have been spreading and has used them herself. Now that Tillis can better respond to these attacks, I believe he will win and will prove to be an effective Senator (much better than Burr, IMO).
Yesterday I had a knock down drag out debate with Greg Brannon on a Raleigh radio talk show about his lack of support from Tillis. I think I cleaned his clock - frankly. He had no retort to my points other than “well, we disagree.”
I supported Brannon, have tremendous respect for him as a man, and he would have been a fantastic Senator and would have romped Hagan. But he’s turned into a full fledged “Paul bot” lately. So disappointing. He doesn’t have a clue, nor does his pathetic campaign staff, that the majority of his supporters were the REagan Palin Limbaugh Cruz Lee Levin voters, not the Paul bots. And most of them are appalled by his lack of support.
I called my family there..told them to vote no matter what. Hopefully they will. True enough the long knives are after Tillis...maybe Ted Cruz can make an appearance?
It sounds like Tillis won the last Debate. But, I wonder if it had a large viewing audience.
