Obama got personally involved in this race to attack Issa!

Now his failure is complete.

I read that title real fast and thought it said ISIS claims victory against Applegate and my first thought was, ISIS is running political candidates in American elections now?!?

I am so glad! I don’t live in his district, but I do live in the same county. This election season I have given up listening to the radio and watching the local news on TV due to the constant ads running against Issa. I couldn’t stand the ads.

There was some serious, major money dumped into this race to pay for all the advertising. Much more money than could be raised locally by a retired Colonel to pay for a congressional run.

It seemed to me to be the money against Issa was in retaliation against his (ineffectual) Benghazi hearings.

If Clinton had won, that prospect wouldn't be too implausible.
