GOP Candidate In Mississippi House Race Uses Obama In Attack Ad
A new attack ad in the Mississippi special House election, which has become unexpectedly close, is an early GOP experiment in using Barack Obama as a negative name in red districts:
"Travis Childers: He took Obama's endorsement over our conservative values," the announcer says gravely. "Conservatives just can't trust Travis Childers."
Hitting Obama could be a safe bet in this district, even among Democratic-leaning voters -- even though Obama won the statewide Democratic primary in a landslide, he actually lost this area to Hillary Clinton in a racially-polarized result.
