She'll spotlight an issue poll that severely favors the Democratic side, and conclude that voters will use the subject matter to influence if not dictate their vote.
Cute theory but seldom applicable. When those issue polls are taken it's generally at a period like this, long before a meaningful election. Even if Obamacare is favored 74-16 or whatever over the Deathcare version right now, does anyone honestly believe that percentage will hold up 15+ months from now, or that it will play a pivotal role in the 2018 outcome?
If so, I wish you made the betting lines on everything.
The campaigns are now bombarded with so much cash and crap that legitimate issues seldom mean much of anything. Republicans vote on hatred and fear and they'll be fed tons of reasons to be scared and hateful in fall 2018. The ones who are part of that 74% right now won't remember or care that they responded to pollsters that way, so long ago.
Heller would have been primaried if he'd voted No. He still might be primaried. I hope he's not their nominee, to be blunt. Maybe they'll find another wacko Sharron Angle type, someone who is easier to defeat. I'm never confident against an incumbent, especially in Nevada where I lived for 25 years.
