The worst negative ad I can remember.

And an excellent response.

The race has been called for Hagan, but results aren’t yet complete. Dole was an incumbent and projected to win until recently. I wonder how much this ad and response had to do with the outcome. It has received a lot of national coverage so I would imagine it’s all over the place in NC. Using an ad like that shows a lack of character as far as I’m concerned so regardless of reason I think it’s a good result. I feel like there’s been a lot of things along the same lines being lobbed at Obama by Republicans with for the most part the exception of McCain, Palin being the most prominent and vocal of them.
