1. at least these ads don't measure up to Jesse Helm's standards

congrats NC, your GOP is only slightly less racist than 5 years ago.

2. Tying Bowles to Clinton and pro-immigration policy

The Latino advocacy group El Pueblo said a recent attack ad on Senate candidate Erskine Bowles is an attack on the Latino community. The ad claims Bowles worked with Bill Clinton to get $10 billion for immigrants who moved to the United States and received welfare benefits.

"As a Latino advocate, I'm offended, actually, by this ad," said Andrea Bazan Manson, of El Pueblo. "It is using immigration as a divisive issue and I believe that it's very damaging."

Bowles' challenger, Richard Burr, would not comment, but he did not sponsor the ad. The National Republican Senatorial Committee ran the ad, saying the goal is to focus on Bowles' record...."

yeah well the GOP sucks and this probably will cost Bowles the election. I hope he can respond effectively.
