Funny that they didn't poll the runoff.

Has Nunn even been attacked seriously yet?

Once AFP starts running ads against her, she'll plunge.

Yep, like Mark Pryor ;)

Actually, Windjammer, from what I've heard, AFP stopped airing ads in Arkansas a while ago. Why? I don't understand, but apparently they did.

Nunn completely botched her response on Obamacare (so much so that MSNBC called it out as being horrific) and her original (pre-flip flop) answer on the Veterans Affairs situation won't help her either. She has not dealt with a lot of attack ads so far, but I don't expect her numbers to go up.

Not to mention this is Rasmussen.

Indeed, because it''s the runoff that decided everything.

As you know, I don't think she will win at all. But seriously, attack ads against her won't be the cause, I mean, big money works so well in politics... Whitman, Alameel, Macmahon, they all failed miserably!

Money in politics works... but only to an extent. If a candidate has already spent so much, then it doesn't matter how much more money they spend: for example, Jon Corzine spent $50 Million for a Senate seat he only won by 3 (and outspent his Republican by a margin of, I think, 10-1). On the other side:  If a candidate is so doomed, money can't fix that. Blanche Lincoln outspent whoever the Republican was by 9-1, and lost by one of the largest margins an incumbent has ever lost by.

However, no candidate is doomed or has already spent beyond a crazy amaount here, so money is fairplay, but that doesn't necessairly mean the candidate with the most money will win.

Well, seriously, I don't think money has no influence as well.

I mean, it only works when people don't have any name recognition. The GA primary, the PA primary,... All of them didn't have a great name recognition, that's why big money worked so well for Wolf and Perdue.

But in some other states, it doesn't work at all. I mean, Mark Pryor, even if Afd seems to have ended their attack, he has really been extremely attacked, and no change for him basically if we compare with his situation 6 month ago. Simply because Pryor has a great namer recognition (senator + his father)!
