A couple of weeks ago in an article in the Washington Post, Deborah Pryce, 7 Term Incumbent and the fourth leading Republican in the Rubber Stamp Congress, said of her race against Democratic challenger Mary Jo Kilroy, "
It's a knife fight"
Pryce has never been in a truly competitive race for re-election her entire time in Congress. This year it's different and her campaign has had problems at every turn.
There was the
misspelling of her own name in her first TV Ad.
Then in her second TV Ad, she violated 11 CFR 110.11 by not adding the "stand by your ad" disclaimer ("I'm Deborah Pryce and I approve this message").
I suppose reasonable people can differ over whether these gaffes were simple mistakes or evidence of incompetence, but after her staged "media event" yesterday, I'm leaning towards incompetence.
