		<description>This is supposed to symbolize the crowded classrooms that will be a result of all of the republican backed cuts to education, not Rush eating children.


Larger classrooms = sayonara to education.</description>

		<description>Funny tactic for a candidate who ducked debates (even though Kerry Bolognese and five others have spoken or debated at Eileen's own congregation).</description>

"Not because of his political views. Because he is a blowhard nitwit with an unlistenable show."

A not to listen to show - Check the facts. To you he may be "unlistenable", but Rush is the most listened to Radio Talk Show. Number two is  Sean Hannity, then third is - Liberalism is a mental disorder - Savage.

Those are the facts; not what we wish or listen to as individuals.

The Rush Limbaugh Show – 20+ million 
The Sean Hannity Show – 16+ million

		<description>gnarly,
the marsden pulled a similar tactic in the 72 hour gotv stage.  they put palin on a door hanger and said basically the same thing, stop palin from taking over the GA.  Who won that one?</description>

		<description>Gnarly, I don't see this as far over the line. I don't find it to be particularly effective. I think it is kind of dumb. But it doesn't attack her opponent in any vicious way. It merely tries to associate him with Rush Limbaugh. I agree it is an insult to be compared to or associated with Rush Limbaugh. Not because of his political views. Because he is a blowhard nitwit with an unlistenable show.

You are welcome to regard it as a sign of desperation. I just don't see it. One could just as easily see desperation in the attempt to make a big deal out of a mailer that appears to be pretty insignificant.

This has been a rather ho hum campaign. Hardly a rough one. And if this mailer seems ugly to you then you must never have seen an ugly campaign. 

I would suggest looking back at the campaign then Governor George W. Bush ran against John McCain in the 2000 South Carolina Republican primary if you want a good example of a truly ugly campaign. That one would have made Lee Atwater blush.

Or follow this year's campaign for the Republican Senate nomination in Florida. The next six months down there promise to get vicious. Then I think you will see this mailer is nothing at all.</description>

		<description>I disagree Dan.  You don't go this far over the line if you are winning.  Any campaign this close to an election (special, primary or general) has a good idea whether they're winning or losing.  This campaign is obviously losing AT THIS POINT.  I agree, it's red meat for the base and I guess we'll find out real soon if it works.</description>

		<description>It's going to be fun watching the Democrats try to win this year while following their leaders right off a political cliff.  Liberalism is absolutely a mental disorder, cause by the consumption of one's own feces.</description>

		<description>Sir, I take exception to much of what you have said. You appear entirely unable to recognize your own pettiness. I will, therefore, make no further attempt to highlight the adolescent nature of your banter. Good luck with that.</description>

		<description>Gnarly, I don't think you can tell anything about the race based on this or any other mailer. This mailer is pretty common fare for both parties. Such mailers appeal to base voters in either party by associating the opposition candidate with one of the boogie men. 

If we had reliable polling I don't know that we could draw meaningful conclusions from that anyway. Low turnout special elections are notoriously hard to predict because you never know who will show up.

That's why you don't see any serious people making predictions about this one.</description>

		<description>Yo Dan, 

Politics of personal destruction? Where in my comment did I say anything, positive or negative, about any politician?

Or are you saying that Rush Limbaugh is a Republican leader? Because you would be at odds with the elected leaders of the Republican Party who say he is not. And those elected Republican leaders are absolutely correct. He is the leader of nothing.

You may take exception to the comment about Rush still being on drugs, but many think he shows signs of having fallen off the wagon. I don't wish ill on anyone, including Rush, who is a recovering drug addict. I hope he has not gone back to his old ways. But his hypocrisy on the subject is undeniable. 

If we take him at his own word, he should be in a jail cell. That is what he has advocated for on his own radio show for others whose circumstances and actions directly parallel his own.</description>

		<description>Has there been any polling of this race? I have seen none. And not too many informed predictions about it.

We'll find out in a couple days. Low turnout specials are damned hard to get a handle on.

Have you seen the fat man recently? It wouldn't shock me to see Rush lumbering into a room hollering "I'm gonna eat your baby!" a la Fat Bastard. He has ballooned up to that size again.

And if he is still on drugs (which wouldn't be a stretch to believe) he might get confused and eat a small child. Better to be safe than sorry. Don't leave any small children unattended around Rush.

Safety first! Regardless of your choice in the 41st.</description>

		<description>I guess the Dems really are in trouble, if they think attacking radio show hosts is their best strategy to win elections.    The last time I checked, Rush is not able to vote in either the Virginia General Assembly or in Congress.</description>
