The opposing view, from my inbox:

K-Lo:
How can folks be bored by this race? As a life-long Republican, I view this race as an important step in taking back a party that has descended into chaos on so many issues. The outcome will tell us where the GOP is headed in 2006/2008. Any conservative who cares about maintaining a Republican majority should be letting their congressmen know that Shadegg should be getting their vote… it’s been a long time since we’ve seen real ideas coming out of the leadership… I think Shadegg would pump some life back into those of us who feel cheated and demoralized.
