BREAKING: Doug Applegate Opens Up 4-Point Lead Against Trumpian Darrell Issa in New Poll! (CA 49)

This does not surprise me.  Colonel Applegate’s campaign has caught fire here at the north end of San Diego County, just outside Camp Pendleton.  Meanwhile Issa is flooding radio, TV, and mailboxes with anti-Applegate propoganda because he has money to burn.  But as the Colonel says, “you can’t buy votes.”

No link yet to the poll, but here is an excerpt from the Applegate campaign’s e-mail:

This poll puts us at 46 percent and Issa at 42 percent. The lead is still within the margin of error, but it is a very good sign. This poll proves that what we’ve been doing is working. The phone banks, canvassing, and outreach events have helped us connect with more voters. The ads we’ve been airing have been effectively sharing the truth about Issa’s shameful record.

Getting to this position hasn’t been easy. There were the personal attacks against Doug’s family and then Issa threatened to sue us over an ad he didn’t like. Through it all we have persevered and come out even stronger.

Issa may have money on his side, but you can’t buy votes. We have the truth on our side. The 49th district wants change and a representative who will look out for them – not himself – and who has the same values of integrity and equality and will listen to their concerns.

Here is the campaign’s latest video ad attacking Issa for denying funding to first responders after 9-11, and for calling 9-11 “simply a plane crash….”

….And the campaign’s first TV commercial, “Darrell Issa’s Lined Pockets:”

Doug Applegate needs an army of foot soldiers to help #dumpdarrell.  Are you in?
