Campaign narratives losing lots of voters
The putrid campaign narratives being served up in the state’s two most hotly-contested congressional campaigns are distorting the records of all four major party candidates.
Childers, Nunnelee, Taylor and Palazzo are all good, decent men who’ve kept faith with their campaign promises. All four have voting records. Study them and study them in context. But the tenor of the current campaign leaves that reality in a steaming pile.
Are trumped up guilt-by-association half-truths spun in YouTube ads really the best that the national congressional campaign committees for both Democrats and Republicans can do to motivate voters?
No wonder there are so many minor party and independent candidates floating around out there and no wonder so many establishment candidates in both parties are getting their brains beat out in the primaries.
