I think those that are worried have more truth than you give credit for but most of the talk is mis-targeted I believe.
I really think the special election is the problem, election fatigue has to be off the charts and the whole deal seems from my distance to be a sticky subject with a lot of folks there.
I imagine having to gin up all this money back to back is an issue in the current environment too. You have to spend so damn much to even compete and sure we could help but there have been heavy hitting negatives on outside money. Probably not so much in big media market areas so that is negligible nowadays, I guess.
I think you are overall closer to right than most of those you're addressing but the situation is a lift for those who have to do it. Not the semi Alamo some are crying about but far from a pass. A should win but a honest possible to lose situation. Maybe a Texans versus Chargers deal, at best.
