Could the head stomp story give Conway momentum going into last week?
How is this going to impact the race or perhaps a lot of races if undecided people begin to feel un-easy with these violent Republican supporters. Are we talking minimal to no impact or the possibility of changing the outcome? Now that the guy is asking Valle for an apology this story is staying alive and making him and these tea party supporters look worse and worse. Also, Rand Paul didn't handle it that well either. If I had been a candidate and this would have happened I would have ripped the guy a new one and gone off on how disgusting his actions were with real anger. Calling this a "crowd control" problem at first seems ridiculous.

Any thoughts on the impact of this?

1. If you string it with the reporter in New York that was told he'd be taken out,
a reporter in Alaska being handcuffed for asking a question and the woman being stomped on you have a picture of pure fascism.

especially among those who are still undecided. Then again, I've been proven wrong on numerous occasions - even in the face of a foregone conclusion.
