The Mike Rounds Republicans have made the US Senate race “About Harry Reid”, “About Barack Obama” and “About Rick Weiland”.

That is a masterful misdirection by the Republican power brokers to keep voters from focusing on the REAL issue.  This race is very much “About Mike Rounds”.  It’s why nearly half of the Republican voters rejected him in the primary election.

The real issue in this election will be determined by voters when they answer for themselves, these questions:

 Has Mike Rounds earned the right to be trusted with a US Senate seat?

Will he advance Conservative Principles and Traditional Values?

Is there a candidate in this race who is a better representative of those Conservative Principles and Traditional Values?

Why have organizations and political operatives intentionally excluded the mention of the “fourth” candidate in this race?

Gordon Howie (the fourth candidate) has an uncompromised record of supporting Conservative Principles and Traditional Values.  It isn’t surprising that the Rounds team doesn’t want to talk about that.
