This is the hardest pick for me because Weldon has been fierce on the GWoT but is also a bit of a loose cannon and has many votes I disagree with.
All the repubican ads I've been seeing are about taxes - trying to appeal to the old stereotype of repubicans. I think with all the other shit that's going down that's that tactic isn't going to fly. Taxes wouldn't have to be so high if federal spending wasn't being sucked up by the war, tax cuts on the rich, scandals, corporate wefare, and the rest of that crap. Curt himself has dumped huge quantities of tax money into the Osprey, with little to show.
