| Description | It might be only 16 days away, but voters in this rock-ribbed Republican community are showing little interest in the upcoming GOP primary for the U.S. Senate.
Instead, they are preoccupied with the war in Iraq.
They worry about fallout from the prisoner abuse controversy, the country’s image abroad and the ability of the United States to gain the upper hand in what many fear will be a prolonged conflict.
Some, including 50-year-old hardware store owner Det Haislip, say they are too depressed to talk about politics or the primary.
They’re not interested.
“President Bush has got to take control,” Haislip said. “He has got to put the prisoner abuse behind him and move on. He can’t let the media control the level of debate. If we retreat on the war, it won’t matter who we send to Congress.” |
