Mike McGraw vs. Lynn Westmoreland --The Only Positive Message?

You would think none of the elections without public polls are truly contested! Kossacks and Huffpo have absolutely become obsessed with polls.

Tuesday will have a LOT of surprises, even for the pollsters, but even more in races below the radar. I say "you count the votes, I'll GET more votes; let's see whose time is better spent."

The big news here in Georgia is that Mike McGraw vs Lynn Westmoreland was one of only two in the whole state to get endorsements from the leading newspaper Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Yes, this is a 1 newspaper city and AJC has clout. Old fashion journalism; they did their homework and saw a poll had been done by Westmoreland, but not released out of shame. "No Comment," said Westmoreland.

But, more importantly, it was in the headline, "Oust Westmoreland" with no reference to the Governor's race or other big money campaigns.

Mike McGraw is possibly the only candidate in the country to be running an "all" positive campaign despite outside advice. Here is the ad that will be running through Tuesday.

Is this possibly the ONLY positive TV ad for a congressional candidate this year?

Mike McGraw For Congress Against Lynn "Do-Nothing" Westmoreland is keeping on the high road.

Westmoreland Attacks McGraw-Atlanta Journal & Constitution Endorses McGraw-"Oust Westmoreland"

(Repost by mostconsiderate)
Daily Kos

Well, finally major media realizes McGraw is a winnable candidate! The day after an attack mailer was sent to the entire district distorting McGraw's positions, the Atlanta Journal & Constitution Endorsed almost every incumbent EXCEPT Westmoreland.

Mike McGraw hit a home run! Not quite Hank Aaron, but it scored!

Basically, after FEC filings made it clear that Westmoreland had done a poll and refused to release it (thus he was ahamed) and that he spent $50000 on a single direct mailer, the AJC jumped on it and said, "Enough" to the bully-Westmoreland.

Of course, Mike McGraw still waits for the other foot to drop as Westmoreland has a huge warchest. At least for now, every other media outlet and the party will take McGraw's candidacy seriously! Cox owns the AJC and local TV WSB (who will follow up--then come the rest) Please contribute to McGraw: http://www.mikemcgrawforcongress.com/contribute.html

This is clearly a tacky attack and completely spins all of McGraw's moderate positions.


Can you say backfire?
