Well, it’s the usual M.O. to find a very unflattering pic of your opponent. He looks more Hispanic (in fact, looks like a skinnier version of the NM Governor Richardson). They probably could’ve done that entire ad MINUS the photo. The question is, was the substance of the charges false ?

What Goode’s ad people did to the photo was not just unflattering, it took a VERY obviously white and American looking guy and made him look otherwise. And then it was followed by a shot of Goode and his wife walking in the sunshine and dressed mostly in white. Gee, I wonder why.
The “New York lawyer,” which Goode emphasized in almost every ad, is definitely not true.
Folks from around here are not used to being in a battleground area and they are mostly used to fairly benign and positive ads. Any attacks are based solely on positions, not on altered appearances or other BS. No matter who wins in the end, it’s very safe to say it did not go over well. If Goode loses, I do think those ads cost him enough votes to make the difference.
