We can call it an official race now. Someone has gone negative. Mike Blouin is the winner (or loser, depending on your take on it) Blouin's airing a new tv ad. He comes after Chet Culver for a lobbying job he had. Culver worked for Ed Campbell who represented IBP. Blouin's saying Culver's a hypocrite for criticizing the big meatpacking plant now, but lobbying for the place in the '90s.

No. Let the mudslinging end. Ed Fallon had it right at the debates when tried to redirect the conversation to current issues and future goals.
Because...ahem...that is what we are voting for. I don't care that Culver worked in politics "just out of college", whether as a lobbyist or an assistant to a bureaucrat.
That's cute bio stuff. What are either Culver or Blouin going to do now?
I hope the answer to that question is "Lose to Ed Fallon."
Yes. Where would we be without the mudslinging? Anymore, that term is synonymous with political races. I, for one, haven't paid much attention, YET. "Sinfully" registered as an Independant, I really get turned off by partisanship and mudslinging - I will make my own choice regardless of a party affiliation. I better start paying attention and look forward to watching this weekend's debate. I hope to be able to see some character, goals, and issues addressed CLEARLY.
Then again, maybe i shouldn't get my hopes up...
Besides, the "real" negative ads, with the grainy images normally reserved for drug or gambling addiction PSAs, the creepy voice-over, the brief, damning soundbites haven't started...
Oh, wait, here's the new Culver ad!
