Dems rush money to help David Cicilline survive brutal air war

Democrat David Cicilline appears to be crumbling under devastating ads run by Brendan Doherty highlighting Cicilline’s mismanagement of Providence when he was Mayor, his lies during the 2010 congressional campaign about Providence’s finances, and his soft law and order record.

Doherty, the former Superintendent of the State Police with a stellar reputation, is making the race about character.

The Cicilline campaign is complaining bitterly about the ferocity of the Doherty ads.

RI and Providence are one big pool of corruption. I could see a new sheriff in town having some appeal.

How unfair to make the race about character when there is a democrat involved.

*giggle*

I have seen the ads. They are withering. Devastating. Provable. Damning.

Regardless of party I do not see how they could be survivable.

Make him look like a slimy snake, and not a very bright one.

I was wondering why we didn’t do that again this year.

Holding the House hasn’t been in doubt though.

Lots of reasons but the level of of interest in the overall House races has been zippo. We’ll wait a long time before we see another perfect storm that was 2010.

63 seat takeovers don’t happen every election. 2012 could be as low as 1 or 2 seats. Hard to get people interested in that.
