Candidates in 12th Cong. District reach concensus: All's fair in love & war, & politics is war -- Don't let the details & facts mess up a good TV ad.
Larry Peterson of the Savannah Morning News in an 10-5-04 article poses what may be a prescient question:
Will a dramatized execution be next?
An elderly man crumples to the sidewalk as the announcer says U.S. Rep. Max Burns voted seven times to cut funds for rural hospitals.
That's the beginning of a new TV ad in the 12th Congressional District, which pits freshman Republican Burns against Democrat John Barrow.
The 30-second spot is the most graphic in a series of increasingly testy ads aired by both sides in the race.
Mr. Peterson examines some congressional votes.
