Under the Dome

Democratic candidate for governor aligns himself with President Obama

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Bob Etheridge is airing a new TV ad that aligns himself with President Barack Obama.

The ad shows a picture of Etheridge and Obama shaking hands and the words "worked with Obama" appear on the screen. "Bob Etheridge worked with Barack Obama to build better schools and hire more teachers," the voiceover says, referencing Etheridge's vote for the president's economic stimulus package.

The rest of the 30-second spot is a rehash of his first TV ad, dubbed "Real Progress," which has been airing for the past week.

Good move

Hey, we are talking about the Democratic primary here.  I don't think it is a bad idea aligning himself with Obama.  I think most people think of Dalton as being aligned with the Easley-Perdue part of the party.   Etheridge may be just the one to take us back to those halcyon days of the Hunt era.

Wow...

What an idiot??!!!

Big Mistake!

yep, big mistake Mr. Etheridge...you should KNOW better!
