"All politics is local"...or is it?

The well-known saying "All politics is local" does not apply to Delaware's Republican Senate Candidate, Christine O'Donnell, which should help her in November, according to Trey Nordan (top), a public policy student at the University of Mississippi. Others, like Toran Dean (bottom), also a public policy student at the University of Mississippi, feel that the focus should be on local constituents and their needs. Dean warns that O'Donnell's absence from the local scene may hurt her in the upcoming mid-term elections.





Question:

According to a recent article in the New York Times, Christine O'Donnell, the Republican Senate candidate in Delaware has been campaigning on a national level for the Delaware seat, unlike her Democratic opponent, Chris Coons, who has been making appearances on a local level, saying, "This is a job interview. In Delaware, if you want the job, people want to meet you."

Do you think that the well-known saying "All politics is local" still holds true today, or do you think that "All politics is national"?
