First is Friday's timely column by Dan Bice, regarding GOP blogger-cum-candidate Jo Egelhoff in the 57th AD. I've heard from sources in the Fox Valley that her abrasiveness at public forums and with the media are costing her dearly. Also, she should consider putting an auto-timer on those lights at the condo she bought in the district - people are apparently catching on to the fact that she's not what you would call a conventional resident of the district so much as she owns property in the district. By all accounts, Democrats feel that repeat candidate Penny Bernard Schaber is in an excellent position to pick up a seat that Republicans have held for generations. Some have gone as far to say as the 57th is their number one target.
Second is word that alleged liar Daniel Knodl has been formally charged with a misdemeanor for falsifying names of supporters on his literature. Bullshitting names on campaign literature? That's just weak. Pending criminal charges usually don't help a candidate, and surely the 24th is not a seat that the GOP was expecting to worry about.
I make no predictions (yet - those are coming next week), but these are two flare-ups the AssGOP can ill afford in their attempt to hold on to the Assembly.

Knodl was simply following the Republican tradition of placing yard signs on property without the owner's consent. What's the big deal?
Yeah, that tradition is totally one-sided, just like the Democratic tradition of putting yard signs in public medians and rights-of-way. :-)
Team Engelhoff could run such a terrible managed, media gaffe filled, forum missing, message lacking,unprepared candidate that always negative, mean-spirited general election campaign,which has local conservatives in the land of tailgunner Joe residents running in mass to support unthinkable the wacky environmentalist democrat, who likes new taxes. I think that this race was done in September. I don't think that even Fox Politics will this race now.
Well, in my county I see dozens of signs in the median and right of way. Every single one of them is a Republican sign, some of them even signs from the guy who lost in the primary. Then there are the cases of signs being destroyed, or defaced with swasticas and the "N" word. Guess which signs get that treatment.
But we don't mind so much. While our local Republicans are playing junior high school games with yard signs, we have at least 8 times as many people canvassing. We are determined to send the extremists of your party back under the rock they came out from under. If you'd care to help, we can sign you up for a shift.
