Is anyone seeing the blatently misleading attack ads against Eric Fingerhut in parts of the state other than Cleveland? We know he's been spending tons and sweating nervously because of soft poll support, but coming out with a smear so aggressive at this point makes you wonder if we might not actually beat Voinovich by more than a couple points.
...about Fingerhut being against funding for the troops. My attention was about 90% diverted at the time, but I remember thinking that it sounded very odd.
I'll pay closer attention next time. But to answer your question, at least one anti-Fingerhut ad has aired in the Dayton area.
There is no next time. This is it for Voinovich. He'll be 74 in 2010. The amazing thing, he ran no negatives on Boyle in 98, but ran similar smears against Metzenbaum in 88. Guess which time he lost?
and Dayton stations but no Fingerhut ads. I thought it was weird too because we don't even have Fingerhut yard signs down here (I tried for weeks to get one)
