Attack on Nye Not Gaining Traction

Rep. Thelma Drake’s (R) attack on Glenn Nye does not seem to be hurting the Council backed candidate.  As we blogged the other day, Drake criticized Nye for taking a tax exemption on a house he wasn’t living in.  The only problem is that Nye wasn’t living there because he was on a State Dept. assignment in Iraq.  Claiming residence in the U.S. while serving overseas is a completely legal action regularly used by our soldiers and diplomats.

A recent poll shows voters see through Drake’s ad hominem attack.  The race has narrowed to Drake 45%, Nye 40%.  Nye is up 8 points from a poll in May.

Any incumbent with less than 50% this close to the election is vulnerable.  Glenn Nye is a career diplomat and with our help he can win.
