Comments on: Wil Cardon Keep Gaining? http://www.rumromanismrebellion.net/2012/07/24/wil-cardon-keep-gaining/ "We beg no longer; we entreat no more; we petition no more. We defy them!" - William Jennings Bryan Fri, 24 May 2013 18:14:24 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: Arizona Bobcat http://www.rumromanismrebellion.net/2012/07/24/wil-cardon-keep-gaining/comment-page-1/#comment-58385 Arizona Bobcat Wed, 25 Jul 2012 03:48:43 +0000 http://www.rumromanismrebellion.net/?p=12284#comment-58385 Cardon is hitting a lot of Tea Party hot buttons in his campaign and he has boatloads of cash to spend. It was interesting a few weeks ago when he got the backing of Trent Franks, too. The Kyl and McCain endorsements could look like the establishment riding to Flake's rescue, but the Palin nod may defuse that sentiment, not to mention the support of the Club for Growth. Cardon lacks the stump presence Jesse Kelly showed when he knocked off Paton, however, and Flake has his voter base in an area known for strong turnout. Not hearing much about a vigorous Cardon ground game, either. I think Flake will prevail rather easily in this race, but his primary tactics will help Carmona to paint him as out of the mainstream in the general.

Don't have a link but that's definitely not chump change. There was a story a couple weeks back that Flake was spending 1.3 million on an ad buy for the primary.
