Dear God --- it’s started already!
Congressman Sam Graves has started the mud-slinging, and the November election is still over 5 months away. Last week he ran TV and radio advertisements in parts of the 6th congressional district criticizing his contender --- Kay Barnes.
It’s hard to believe that an incumbent would feel that he needs to enlist such nastiness this early in an election year. This negativity should be a clue to those of us, who are not 24/7 political fanatics, that he must be feeling pretty desperate already --- and maybe for good reason.
Why does Sam Graves have to start negative campaign advertising so soon? Why can’t he talk about "good things" that he’s accomplished during his time in office?
Well, maybe it’s because he really doesn’t have much positive to say about what he’s been doing in Washington the past 7 years.
