Dalton’s Etheridge Problem
November 13, 2012 - by
A TAPster asks a good question:
“Why does nobody, or certainly almost nobody, mention Bob Etheridge by name when describing the factors that lead to Walter Dalton’s defeat? While Etheridge certainly wasn’t the sole source of Dalton’s problems, Etheridge certainly sucked every last dollar out of Dalton’s bank account thru early summer, leaving Dalton with almost zero dollars to begin a general election against someone with millions in the bank.
“Everybody talks about Perdue’s late decision to not run, Dalton’s this and Dalton’s that, but the expensive primary that kept Dalton from beginning his General Election race until mid-May, and to begin it broke, has to be significant by anyone’s rational analysis, so I’m puzzled as to why most commentators are shying away from mentioning it. It is doubtful that folks are trying to protect Etheridge’s brand, to enable him to run again in 2016.”
