Stacy Lawson

In our local congressional primary, Stacy Lawson, a Democrat funded by some national women's organizations, is running unending expensive TV ads with a Republican message: that you, too, can become as rich as she is by pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps. She's running on Mitt Romney's coattails, flooding the primary with cash. It will be interesting to see if this approach works in an open primary where she faces two registered Republicans and several well-known progressive Democrats.
