Murray anticipates nasty GOP campaign

U.S. Sen. Patty Murray has yet to face any negative TV ads or nasty personal attacks in her campaign for a third term. But she's already predicting such tactics will be forthcoming from her Republican critics.
Murray last night hosted a campaign rally in Seattle featuring former U.S. Sen. Max Cleland of Georgia, who lost his re-election bid two years ago in a race that featured controversial TV ads where Cleland's face was paired with Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein.

The ads, sponsored by Republican Saxby Chambliss, criticized Cleland's votes against some homeland-security spending. But they were condemned as over the line even by some Republicans, considering Cleland's status as a decorated veteran of the Vietnam War who lost both legs and his right arm in a grenade accident.

Last night, Murray stood on a stage with Cleland and referred ominously to remarks by Sen. George Allen, R-Va., chairman of the Senate GOP fund-raising committee. He's likened the Washington state Senate race to the Georgia race of 2002.

They know that people are so angry with Bush that they will all be swept out of office in November.

It's looking more and more likely, and the Power of Propaganda is waning . . .
