The CD-08 primary wars are going to be getting hotter.
With two weeks to go the National Republican Campaign Committee has made a major media buy, in the neighborhood of a quarter of a million bucks. That’s some neighborhood, and the street talk is that it’s a neighborhood in which Randy Graf is not welcome.
Will the NRCC also be dipping a toe into the CD-08 Democratic primary? Guess we’ll have to start watching TV.

Have said rather often that I am willing to be wrong. Was married once.
Certain pieces are gelling in some respects. I have posted before on several occasions about confident folk saying "Whatever it takes, period" to prevent Graf on 9/12, and that the chosen R nominee is Huffman. Can they do this? Don't know.
I have also posted repeatedly, at expense of some ridicule (it's ok), that Huffman wanted to face Weiss.
So at expense of being very wrong, will speculate that this upcoming barrage is going to hit Graf and Giffords, and promote Steve.
Now, given recent events, maybe the D side has been written off and they are resigned to facing Giffords and won't bother her (until 9/13).
Finally, this last push will be new material voicing that (as posted weeks ago), "A vote for Graf is a vote for the democrat in November."
If this last push is just increasing the volume of flashlights and upside down GW photos, we're witnessing the most ridiculous waste of money since... oh....., wait......
Nevermind.
Were I Graf, this media buy would tell me to begin planning my general election campaign. The big money and strategy boys are chucking Huffman a BIGGER flashlight so that he can find his way out of the deep, dark mess his ineptitude and negativity have created. It's too little, too late, but it's also too late to get their troops to coalesce behind Hellon.
Will the GOP have a "unity breakfast" after the primary? Honestly, as rough as Gabby and Patty have been on each other, they STILL haven't said or done anything that will prevent them form joining forces on September 13th. The GOP primary has been WAY UGLY...and any reconciliation looks unlikely.
