...is not well-received in outstate areas. Her vote for ACA has a lot of RWers climbing the walls hollering for her head. KKKarl Rove, Club for Growth, and Kock(sucker) Bros are bankrolling a huge nasty campaign against her.

She needs help, people! If you can chip in a bit, we'd greatly appreciate it!

She was the deciding vote on ACA

Because that's the bull they're pulling with Bill Nelson here in Florida. Except it's not working here. People kind of like Bill Nelson

...to "put bureaucrats in charge of your health care," and it's having some impact. Obama's popularity outside the Dem strongholds is scary low (the tea party is strong around here), so tying her to him is hurting. She seems to be fighting back as well as she can, but money's tight, and theirs is seemingly endless (a fact that she's attacking hard.) I'm nervous about this race. My one hope is that the Repug tards running against her aren't that effective, but Rove may do their dirty work for them.
