Northerner: From the rumblings amongst the conservative base up here, it looks like Mr. Labrador was seriously hit by this ad. Also, a light mention of the benefit for his candidacy being held in Puerto Rico, whether a reality or a scam, didn't help him either. If a Republican can't carry Boundary county, he should just give up. Mr. Minnick is quite popular up in these parts. His voting record is solid with conservatives and he has done a decent enough job distancing himself from the President, Mr. Reid, and Mrs. Pelosi. Completely unscientific answer, just the 'feel' around here.

Question: At this point, does it matter whether or not Minnick pulls his controversial immigration ad? Hasn't it been out there long enough to have had an effect?
