Negative Attacks Miss the Point
It's the weekend before the election date. My experienceis you hit your opponent hard the last few weeks(if you have to)but close on a positive for yourself.
Apparently not everyone agrees.
This weekend I received a coupleflyers attacking C. Deeds for the first time on gun issues and then a television clip where Brian Moran calls Creigh "an extremist" on 2nd Amendment issues. Moran even notes that Creigh "voted twice to overturn a veto of Governor Kaine" on a particular concealed carry issue.
Heaven Forfend!
Our democracy is based on the independence of the legislative branch from the executive.Legislators don't take orders from the Governor. Weare independentvoices for ourconstituentsand our principles.
Every legislator differs with the Governor on occasion (no matter which party). That's the strength of our system.
It's hardly unique for a Democrat, particularly from a rural area, to support a pro-gun bill. And, yes, Mark Warner signed every last one of them which came to his desk when he was Governor. Tim Kaine had a different tack. It's a big party, folks.
It's time for closing argument. Make your case, fellas. But enoughwith the weak sound-bite attacks at the last second.
