3. Where are her rebuttals? Simple.

Democratic Senators in red-ish states are avoiding talking about the ACA (at least until there's more good news on the subject). She can't put out a rebuttal because it would just draw more attention to the issue as a weakness she's shackled to. What's she going to say? "Here's why I voted for it" ? Independents in the state oppose the ACA by 57-31 in the last PPP poll.

Her ad budget won't see much usage until she has an opponent that she can attack.

I'll wait until the next PPP poll comes out. They're more accurate.

The PPP polls have been getting worse for her pretty steadily. The most recent (two weeks ago) showed her trailing all five of her named opponents. Not as badly as in this poll (1-2 points), but a statewide incumbent polling at 41-42% is struggling.
