[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only suggestion I have for Democrats is to NOT run a woman against her. Running a woman looks forced. Don't be afraid to run a man. I seriously think that would take her down. Run another woman and she will probably survive.[/quote]

+1. Exactly.  She mowed down Luann Bennett.  Notwithstanding the DNC's attempt here to libel Comstock (and its repeated attempts to resurrect this old thread), Barbara is extremely popular in the 10th district.  She works hard for her constituents.  I doubt any contender the DNC sends in will be able to upset her seat.  The townhall argument has been used across the U.S. and is tiresome.  Of course the Republican candidates won't show up because an appearance gives the left an opportunity to protest which leads to bad photo-ops.  Smart republicans have turned to more savvy tech. ways to reach the constituents . . . but the Dems keep yelling that all Repub. candidates are not doing their duty by failing to show up at town halls.  The Dems can put up microphones and pretend that Barbara and others are a "no-show" but smart constituents know she either wasn't invited to begin with or has something better to do with her time to represent the district. I think everyone knows this now.  Resurrecting threads like this just looks like sour grapes to me.[/quote]

[b]What makes you think she is "extremely popular"?[/quote][/b]

She won state legislative seat twice.  She won the congressional seat twice, and in a district that otherwise was moving towards Hillary in some spots against Trump.  She IS very popular.  District constituents have known her for decades and resent it when the DNC sents in a carpetbagger like LuAnne, which was proven last election.  She works endlessly. She IS responsive, notwithstanding DNC's wailing against all Republicans about not attending Townhalls so they can protest.  The Town hall attack getting old, and since the cry is being heard nationwide, everyone knows it's a DNC ploy to try and embarrass the Republicans.  Most of District 10s residents wish the Liberals would just realize they lost the election, grow up and move on and stop attacking all Republicans.  No one cares anymore but the DNC.  The fact that the DNC had to send in a carpetbagger last election says it all.[/quote]
