I would really like to see more from both people in some ads about where they stand instead of where the others trash is. I think there some issue with Griffith not actually living in the district, but being about 100 yards away from it, but he does have ties to the area being an E&H graduate, and possibly redistricting will put his home in the 9th next year. That part is hard to tell though.
I don't completely agree with either one. I also don't agree with the talk of we need to leave Boucher in just because of his tenure. That may be one of the worst arguements ever IMO. You don't change for the sake of change. Also, the question is, how much has Boucher really done for this area in his 28 years? Job creation is basically a farce IMO. I have had a feeling for quite a few years (not just since the recession) that theres fewer jobs around then there used to be.
On some of the big topics he has been a part of recently, Boucher helped himself in the area IMO by voting against "Obamacare". The stimulus vote probably is a 50-50 deal to many in the area, but I am surprised they have polished that turd as well as they have when it comes to cap and trade in this area. He and Cecil are real tight, and I think that has buff that turd as well as it can be.
Right now CNNs poll shows Boucher up 10 points, and I expect him to win again to be honest. I am kind of interested in how Heaton polls, and who he may actually take votes away from, if he does at all.
