Two different events -- one at the new ferris wheel, one with pot folks at Dr. Pot's house.
Can she get it enough gross rating points?
Good issues for GOP primary electorate? Check.
Terrible B & W pic of opponent? Check.
Massage your own record ("Never met a tax she liked"). Check.
It does sound as if she puts an extra "N" in Hutchison's name, and the production values are not, ahem, high. But I quibble.
It's not often that candidates release poll results showing them losing by a significant margin. But that's what Democratic congressional candidate Erin Bilbray did today, disseminating a polling memo indicating she is behind by 8 percentage points to GOP Rep. Joe Heck.
She is alive!
Don't bury her yet!
Give her money!
That is the not-so-subtle message of the release of the polling memo (first reported by the RJ's Steve Sebelius) below from the redoubtable Mark Mellman, the Democratic pollster...

Victor Chaltiel, a close associate of Gondolier Numero Uno Sheldon Adelson, recently contributed $25,000 to a PAC set up my associates of GOP congressional hopeful Niger Innis.
Adelson has helped Innis at Chaltiel's urging, sources tell me, because Innis and Chaltiel are friends. At the end of the last fundraising quarter, Chaltiel seeded the PAC with $25,000. The New America PAC NV was filed last September by Innis supporters.
The PAC has also funded an ad attacking Innis' primary foe,...
The ads below for Susan Brager, facing ex-state Sen. Mike Schneider, and Mary Beth Scow, confronting disgraced constable John Bonaventura, start Monday.
