Breaking News (well, OK, rumors)

Just got a couple of tips that may be of interest:

1. Mike Hellon's internal polling seems to indicate that he has overtaken Steve Huffman among likely primary voters. Although he is still trailing Randy Graf, he believes that he is making up ground from previous polls that he has run.

Great, my take on Mike Hellon's campaign survived just over thirty minutes.

It would seem his advertising is paying off. Huffman had better get things in gear, or he may end up with a lot of money and nowhere to spend it.

2. Randy Graf has decided on a new campaign manager. Supposedly, this individual is from outside the campaign, comes highly recommended, has previous campaign experience, and has ties to Washington. Look for the official announcement in the next couple of days.

If the candidate is all that I have been led to believe, it should be a big boost to the Graf campaign.

Keep in mind that although I trust my sources, neither of these tips are official at this point. I hope to get more confirmation soon.

With the advertising that Hellon has been doing, with the strength of his grassroots in comparison with Huffman, and with Huffman's relative inactivity to this point, I don't find this to be too outlandish at all.

The question is that when Huffman starts advertising in earnest will he

1. Win grassroots?
2. Win over those voters that Hellon has been gaining with his early advertising?

The most telling thing is that for Huffman to comfortably win the primary, he needed to marginalize Hellon among moderate voters. Hellon remaining in the race AND picking up steam has to be a worry for him.
