Yes, it was. If Hillary makes more remarks like that plantation one she could be in trouble. We had it happen to one of our own, when Bunning made some dumb comments and his challenger was as unknown as Spencer, his challenger got forty nine percent of the vote and lost because Bunning got coat tails. I would also like to point out that due to the extremely low voter turnout of midterm elections, if Spencer was able to get a good amount of everyone who voted for Bush, he would definitely win. As for Cox running, I don't think it's a good idea, he has that terrorist tie to his lawfirm, he also wimped out and is waiting for Pataki's endorsement. Anyone who can't stand up to an unpopular lameduck rino, can't stand up to Hillary. Cox also spent one million dollars of his own money on his campaign and didn't move a single percent in the polls.
You have heard it before but I will repeat it again. If a Republican had said that he would have been tarred and feathered. That is a fact.
