After last night's strong performance in start of home stretch of 5 debates n 9 days, Shenna Bellows strikes first (4 hours ago) with this strong 30 second ad:
From incumbent Susan Collins:
1. Nothing up yet on Collins' website, Facebook or twitter.
2. Collins does not appear to have enough content or organization to move quickly during this frantic home stretch that Collins herself demanded by delaying the start of debates.
3. Either her campaign is too disorganized to have prepared in advance a follow-up to the first debate, or the contents of that first debate ruined their advance plans and they are scrambling to made adjustments. One thing that seems unlikely is that they are still complacent now, although they certainly were until the last month or so.
4. This failure is particularly striking because Collins raised enough money to release professional advertisements every hour between now and when the polls close on November 4 (unless she complacently contributed too much to Republican extremists, or perhaps in fees to buddies or her "non-lobbyist" husband at his K Street address).
