I confess that I don’t understand the minds’ of people who are persuaded by political advertising, so I have no idea if the Democrats’ Rope-a-Dope Strategy is the correct one. I am glad that they scrimped in September so that they’d have more money than the Republicans for the last two weeks, but that’s mainly because the third-party ads are running seven-to-one against us. Without a cash advantage, all we’d be seeing are Republican ads.
On the other hand, it’s very late in the game to be trying to change the narrative in these races. The Republicans wanted to create a wave of inevitability, and I think they have succeeded. It could magnify their disappointment if they take neither house of Congress, but it also helped put more seats in play.
What do you think?
