It's interesting that if you believe the polls (questionable sometimes), he is leading the more "black and white" leaning candidate by a substantial margin. In addition, the worst "attack" add, the one that mentions the plea bargain numbers, is one of those that wasn't placed by the opposition campaign, but rather one of those outside committees who have taken it upon themselves to influence an election in which they aren't an actual candidate -- like the "Fast Boat" folks from the last presidential election.
