Both Kilgore and Forrester ran Rovian TV ads that must have backfired --

Kilgore ran TV ads attacking Kaine for his opposition to capital punishment which were the subject of a WP article questioning if the ads were so over-the-line that they would do more harm than good. And Forrester, of course, ran the TV ad featuring words from Corzine's ex-wife.

I hope we are seeing the beginning of the end of Rove's toxic grip on American politics.

2. I hope you're right

Maybe people really are getting sick of the culture of corruption and slime.

3. i heard about the x wife on morning local radio and then later

saw it on msm. both occassion they were talking how political parties had gone too far. the kicker though

neither of these shows told who the repug, the one with filth commercial was and who the one being attacked was, the dem

so they left it open so the dem was as guilty as the repugs.

6. Great minds!

I particularly like this you wrote: "The American people want politicians who bring them hope; politicians who offer ideas and solutions that will make life better for all Americans."

8. Thank you...

I believe it's true.

We have so many people today, working 2 and even 3 jobs, just to try to make ends meet.

We have an increase in the number of "food insecure" Americans, and those without health care.

And those people could care less what the ex-wife of someone's opponent has to say.

They just want to know where that person stands on increasing the minimum wage, health care for all Americans, education, etc.

5. These people are digging their own coffins

One of the "con" arguments in my SF voter guide solidified my Yes vote on Proposition I:

Those Pro-Terrorists Are At It Again!

Unfortunately, our city, our neighborhoods are saturated with American citizens and ungrateful non-citizens intent on sabotaging Democracy as defined in our U.S. Constitution. It is apparent they are determined to re-write democracy ala anarchy style.

It is interesting, however, that these traitors disguised as Americans are the first to invoke the rights protected by U.S. Constitution to dismantle our nation's security. Ironic!

Gail E. Neira
Republican nominee for State Assembly D-13

(All bad writing hers.)

They're so full of hate and garbage that they just can't hold it in anymore. Showing their true colors, they are falling like flies.

7. Hilariously

Forrester held a press conference to announce he wouldn't make an issue of Corzine's divorce an hour before he began running TV ads making an issue of Corzine's divorce....but then it turned out Forrester himself was having an affair with a staffer and Mrs. Forrester fled the campaign trail...
