Primary Ethics in Florida
Peter Deutsch is spending a cool quarter mil to buy 500 ratings points in the Tampa and Orlando media markets, enough for the typical viewer in those markets to see an ad at least five times in the coming week. What's the ad? Well, it can't be "negative" since Deutsch signed a no-going-negative pledge, right?
Wrong. Deutsch's ad is a whisper campaign about a faculty member at UFL who was indited on terrorism charges, which somehow is supposed to make Betty Castor less "electable".
Other than the scale, and the substitution of "terrorist" for "bad parent", I can't tell the difference between this and what MB's primary opponent used.
Please reward the good Dees, and punish rotten the Dees. Put money in Betty Castor's coffers. Write to your friends and family in Florida, ethics is an issue, and so is gender.
