Well, for the past two days I have been accused of running a covert attack campaign on behalf of my family against Bob Tuke. Since the accusations should be warranted, I figured the least I could do is make it a point to prove why Bob Tuke is not a viable candidate, and why he should NOT be elected to the U.S. Senate.
Dependent on how much the foolish bigger blogs run with it, the further I'll go...
Lets start off small. Here are the facts:
1)Tuke cannot compete with Lamar Monetarily. From Tuke's own campaign page. "Lamar Alexander? Well, he's taken over $360,000 from PACs and executives from Big Oil." Further down " we need to raise $10,000 in the next two weeks to help combat Lamar's Big Oil money"
While this is a tactic worth utilizing; $360,000 > $10,000... That said this tactic could work, but Bob is going to have to set his goals a little higher. Basic mathematics tells you this is one failure.
2)Inactive campaigning leads to loses. No news since August 19th. In a political campaign against an incumbent 'no news' is always 'bad news'.
3) Lastly, Tuke has no new advertising, No new signage, and to be quite frank; no following outside of the TNDP inner circles. At least not enough of one to unseat Lamar.
Mr. Tuke might be an alright guy (though I don't think he's that great considering his short fuse...) and he may be a good option for the Senate, but he's not really interested in winning. If he was, he'd be actively campaigning, and raising all of the money he can.
Remember, I'm a Democrat, Voting for Obama/Biden. And I have zero hope in Bob Tuke. Lamar is going to mop the floor with him.
Hell, Gary Davis came damn close to doing it in the Primary.
