Doesn’t this seem like a foregone conclusion. Primary is about a week away and Kirk is up 40 some-odd points or no? Rubio surging but this guy doesn’t seem to be.
That’s exactly what I was about to ask. Why is this campaign just now coming to our attention (those outside IL, that is)? Maybe we could have gotten the word out better if this event was moved back to just a few weeks ago.
Not at all. Hughes only problem is name id and I remember that a week before MA voted for Scott Brown no one believed he could do it. Kirk’s support is weak. An a full press ad blitz could stop him and even if we can’t stop him we can prep Hughes for an independent run which is going to happen regardless of the outcome. Kirk is out of the mainstream and we need to stop him.
