Cash 'n Carry's anti-Brown ad shows drowning boy
http://blog.sfgate.com/nov05election/2014/10/13/shocking-new-kashkari-ad-accuses-brown-of-betraying-ca-kids/With a new TV ad that depicts a drowning child, Republican gubernatorial candidate Neel Kashkari aims to make the case that Gov. Jerry Brown has “betrayed” California children.
The 30-second spot, called “Betrayal,” which Kashkari’s campaign said will start airing Tuesday in every media market in the state, shows a young boy drowning in a swimming pool. “When kids in failing schools begged Jerry Brown to save them, he betrayed them,” says the caption in the spot, as the child struggles underwater.
The ad shows Kashkari pulling the boy to safety and addressing the camera: “I’m running for governor because every kid, in every neighborhood, deserves a good education and a chance for a better life. Jerry Brown betrayed our kids to protect his donors.” “When I’m governor, I’ll fight for kids — not against them.”...
The drowning child in the new spot, campaign consultants say, is a “metaphor” for California’s poor and minority children who have been abandoned in a system that fails to protect the most qualified and best teachers in favor of other criteria, seniority and tenure.

If I was in politics, I'd dump that surname ASAP!
