She has gone overboard with her ads. It is overkill. And she has come off as very smarmy and entitled. She really thought if threw enough ads on tv and in the mail that she could take this race. I think it backfired on her. Oversaturating the airwaves becomes annoying really fast.
And her comments on Social Security and rape have hurt her. If she wanted to be a moderate candidate she needed to talk the talk and was caught not doing that. CT elects moderate Repubs, not conservative ones.
