Weird, I didn't see this covered in the Advocate this morning.
It’s obvious to me that the Dem strategy is to downplay the first primary and to keep interest low and turnout low in hopes the Dem machine can turnout their vote.
Rispone, Abraham and the RGA need to keep this up. Hopefully the debates get heated and the Advocate and others will have to cover them.
It’s not a great economy, the surplus isn’t due to good management and spending is out of control in Medicaid.

that seems like suicide for 2 reasons
1. black turnout is significantly decreased in runoffs
2. the GOP has an identity crisis with 2 very blah guys with even more blah personalities who don't relate to SLA. if JBE is going to win, it needs to be when the GOP is divided and don't have a real identifying, unifying vision

I would have thought GumboPAC would be in on the Dem strategy. They are unloading on both GOP candidates, hell, they might be talking more about the GOP candidates than the candidates are talking about themselves! (at least until recently)

As BigJim previously noted, the advocate, the de-facto press shop for JBE, didn't cover this and will never post an article about it until they can figure out a way to slant it in Edwards favor. Hell, they posted a bunch of articles about the two genders ad from Ralph but has said nothing about this so far.
Another anecdotal example is in this very thread with a poster saying he's never seen Abraham's face before and that's just a tad not believable considering that Ralph has ads running on TV for a while now.
And for the record, I'm voting for Rispone but really first and foremost, I'm anyone but Edwards and will have no problem voting for either one of these two guys in a runoff.
