The DCCC has started running negative ads on Karen Handel in GA 06.

[Ilsa]

It was good, pointing out her misuse of taxpayer dollars, etc.

1. Good

Maybe I'll give them money the next time they call. I'm in Georgia 6, so I'll see them.

[Hortensis]

2. Thanks for the update. We continued $5/mo (!) to the

national organization and nice to hear they're investing in Georgia.

3. I just saw that ad as well!

[Flaleftist]

4. Great

I donated to Ossoff yesterday.

5. Here is the ad, for anyone who is interested:

6. I don't know how Planned Parenthood plays in GA

(and I have relatives there but not in that district) but her politicizing of the Komen Foundation should be brought up too.

[Ilsa]

7. That will have to be carefully worded in an ad if they decide to tackle it. NT

[BumRushDaShow]

9. The one problem I have with this ad is

the ending about her being able to "fit right in in Washington"... which is where he wants to go!

The wasting taxpayer dollars is good though, although I know that was an issue with Crispy Creme Christie (using state helicopters to travel to his son's ball games) yet he got re-elected in Jersey that final time anyway.

8. this is only one distrct in georgia and ossoff made choice a top issue of his campaign

[BumRushDaShow]

10. Then they should bring up her extremism and sullying of Komen. nt

11. The average voter has no idea what the Komen Foundation is...

...keep the arguments simple.

[BumRushDaShow]

12. They know what "Race for the Cure" is

because they sure as hell have races nationwide including Atlanta and they advertise like hell before those events.

[brooklynite]

14. No, they don't...

People who care about breast cancer do; the average voter doesn't fall into that category.

[BumRushDaShow]

15. They dont have to "care about" anything

Komen makes sure that they advertise their events very heavily and as noted elsewhere in this thread, their events correspond to Breast Cancer Awareness Month (October) where everything goes "pink" - with pink ribbons, pink lighting on buildings and bridges and in stadiums, and even pro ball players wearing pink somewhere on their uniforms or helmets or sneakers.



Unless you live in a very rural area in GA (which this district is not) with no TV, then their events are well known. The "average voter" that you have manufactured when it comes to women's issues, does not exist. They may not know what the Pew Trust is or what the MacArthur Foundation is, but Komen spends alot of money on advertising and "branding" and any on-the-fence Democrats or Indies in that district need to know her extreme background.

13. They should know what an abundance of pink ribbons are

And how products are unnecessarily pinked for October.
