rec.

It could also raise their name rec. which is the usual problem for challengers.

This would be GREAT strategy by the way for Latas...to get her to debate him and raise his name rec. and get his ideas out.

It will do a lot to raise his name rec. in the district no doubt, but he will have to either raise turnout in a Republican primary to get moderates out which is going to be very hard according to what polls are saying now OR he will have to move voters from Graf and Hellon to him.

I am sure Weiss is referring to that last Lake poll you speak of, which just about every respectable journalist and analyst in town wrote off as a name rec. poll because the ads hadn't started yet.

You may be right and that may continue to hold true, but it does not account for Giffords closing the gap in the next month and what that will do to her name rec. and to potential voters in the fall and I have no evidence of whether she is or that she isn't closing that gap.

Either the ads, walking and phone calls are getting her name rec. up or the list of 300 they chose to poll is skewed.

My point would be related to polling like the initial T/S polls, or the Mario/Crist polling, one-on-one, way out, too far out to have a meaningful discussion about the candidates and the issues because essentially, there are no “issues” that far out but name rec.
