Ad campaigns in Campaign 2006
LARRY KING: How do you react, Senator, to your opponent's ad?
SEN. MIKE DEWINE: Well, Larry, I couldn't see it, but I will tell you...
LARRY KING: I guess you know it, though.
...PAUL BEGALA: Well, my test on these things is the Jean Friday test, she's my mother-in-law in Austin. And I think, OK, what would Mom Friday think? And I think if she those ads we showed before in the Harold Ford race, which were personal and nasty, I think she would kind of recall from that.
But I think both of these ads, I think Mom Friday would think, well, those are important issues. Whether someone's voting for or against intelligence funding is a legitimate issue. And whether someone shows up in Intelligent Committee hearings, those are legitimate issues. They have a much higher ground that both Sherrod Brown and Senator DeWine are fighting over in Ohio. I suspect their voters are probably a little more proud of them than some of the others in the other states we've seen.LARRY KING: KING: Nicely said.
