Gwen Mason is now on the air with a negative TV commercial and Carter Turner is on the radio with a negative piece. The fact that they'd go negative is not surprising or overly problematic. They're both losing by between 20 and 30 points so this is pretty much campaign 101. Content is garbage but that's to be expected from these two.
The real issue is why they aren't posting their pieces on their websites. They both have pages on their websites where they've posted their TV and radio ads. Conspicuous by their absence, however, are their negative hit pieces. Maybe they're embarrassed? Maybe they know the content is garbage? Maybe they don't want to look desperate? I have no idea why they're hiding them. You'd think they'd want them as widely circulated as possible.
I'll make an offer to each campaign - if you're willing to stand by the negative stuff you're putting out, email them to me in postable form and I'll put them right up here on our blog. Surely that's an offer you can't refuse.

Perhaps you can clarify, for us, what exactly is the negative content of these adds?
Same thing with Carole Pratt down in the 6th and Peggy Frank in the 7th. I smell lots of desperation around here.
Hard to believe a candidate like Mason had so much money and is going to get blown out. Makes you wonder if she can win a city council race in 2010? Her only hope is to ride coat tails like she did in her last run.
I am also curious about what the negative comments are. They must be hiding them really well, because I haven't heard/seen them. I have, however, heard Bill Cleaveland's ad commenting on the negative ads that I haven't heard/seen.
