Lack of Vetting Dooms Attack Ad in NM Governor’s Race
The Blaze ^ | Posted on September 10, 2010 | Scott Baker

Sometimes it only takes 30 seconds to render a lot of expensive TV production effort totally worthless.

This come to us from the New Mexico governor’s race. The Republican frontrunner is Susana Martinez. She‘s facing Bill Richardson’s Lieutenant Governor Diane Denish.

Without giving away the punchline here, the NEA launched the original salvo on behalf of Denish. It didn’t work out very well:

THE VIDEO AD TITLED "CONVICTED"!

Thus far the Denish campaign has not commented on whether or not they had approved of the NEA ad ahead of time.

The race is close — but Martinez has a slight lead. As Ed Morrisey says, “Don’t be surprised to see that trend accelerate a bit after this round of dueling attack ads.”

One of the best ads I’ve “ever” seen. ______________________________________________________________ Have you seen the one run by Meg Whitman against Jerry Brown in the CA Governor's race using Bill Clintons words against Brown in the 1992 Dem Presidential Primary? It was shown on Hannity the other night. Pat Caddell said it is the most damning ad of the campaign season. Check it out:

I said Meg Ryan in Post #60. I meant Meg Whitman.

Why is it, with rare exception, that it’s the Republican WOMEN who have all the chutzpah?
