So basically you are tasked with "reporting" on the accuracy of political ads, but you have difficulty getting your own facts straight. So why should anything you write be taken seriously? How hard would it be to actually do some basic research yourself instead of just being a mouthpiece for the Dole campaign? A little tip for the future - get your facts straight before attacking the accuracy of others.

Mr. UNC Republican:

I have not heard the ad and so cannot comment on its content.

Are you challenging any of the assertions in the ads targeting Dole's record? If so, please specify them. If not, please avoid associating an issue ad with the kinds of lies and smears to which John Kerry was subjected in 2004.

And please, don't go out of your way to label yourself as out of touch with the facts of this campaign. "Man enough"? Leaving aside the offensive inference, has it escaped your notice that both Sen. Dole and Sen. Hagan are women? And both tough enough to take care of themselves in debate, I might add--their gender being as irrelevant as always to their intellectual capacities.

Hagan knows her stances will not attract voters so she knows she can not run a clean campaign and must resort to this sort of harmful ads.

Some smarty will of course say well Bush did this to Kerry, but that is not this race. How Dole gone negative in this campaign? No

Why can Hagan not let this be about the facts and be man enough to challenge those facts in debates instead of letting George Soros call the shots.
