People here need to keep in mind how Eastman won the primary against a semi-incumbent in the first place. She went nuts campaigning, as Cal said in the primary night thread- I also mentioned that the "yard sign primary" really matters for local-level races. Eastman signs were all over Omaha. She blew both Bacon and Ashford out of the water in number of yard signs.
Atlas also keeps assuming that she is some left-wing nut.
No.
She is not. She is just a typical Democrat on most issues. No better than Bacon in the minds of "swing voters" (who did not deliver in large enough numbers for Ashford in 2016), who has been an R hack.
This district will be won as you would expect any other swing district to be won: drive up the base. Eastman can probably do that more effectively. 2014 was a case of people hating Terry more than liking Ashford now, it seems.
Tossup before the primary, tossup after.
Thank you for saying this. Eastman is NOT a horrible candidate like everyone says she is.
