Atlanta Campaign AdsHmmmm, wonder what the message is from those last minute ads for Atlanta mayor? They've played for the last week or so and all during the news tonight. Let's see....Kasim Reed's ad says to vote for "Democrat" Kasim Reed rather than "Republican" Mary Norwood. Never mind the fact that Norwood happens to not be a Republican. She says she attended a Republican convention years ago and didn't like it. Then she names every recent Democratic presidential candidate that she has voted for. Could it be that the white candidate is cast as the Republican (a lie) and the black candidate as a Democrat for any particular reason? And then there's Lisa Border's homey chat of women around the kitchen that really hits the heart. These poor ladies are swapping tales of horrible crimes that they have heard about. In order to fix the crime problem they opine on who they need. Then the last genius says "we need a Democrat....". Uhhh, pardon me but every single Atlanta mayor since 1942 has been a Democrat. There is one source that says the last Republican mayor in Atlanta was the famous Nedom Angier from 1877-1879, although someone since then probably was and just not listed. Yeah, friends of Lisa, a Democrat would surely solve that crime problem. I know what you mean, maybe the NEXT Democrat would solve it. Shows you what they think of the minds of the voters they target doesn't it??? Or then again, is "Democrat" in that commercial just a code word for another demographic?
