Further Daily Herald Analysis of David McSweeney's Anti-Kathy Salvi Radio Ad
I acutally took a look at the paper version of the Daily Herald tonight (the paper is not home delivered in Crystal Lake) and found something that was not in the internet version this morning. So, I actually bought a copy. Here is the Daily Herald's "Ad Watch." (Click to Enlarge.)
What the reporter does not observe is that the target of the ad reveals the McSweeney campaign's polling results. You don't attack people you are beating...or who at least don't have a chance to defeat you.
Reflecting on the first and second Salvi press releases and McSweeney's press release within the last 24 hours, it seems to me that the McSweeney folks are trying to get people to think that McSweeney is going negative on Salvi because Kathy's husband Al insulted McSweeney on his WKRS radio show. Anyone who knows anything about how long it takes to conceive and produce a radio ad and design a mailing piece would tell you that the radio ad and forthcoming mailing were planned well before two days ago, the date of the radio interview.

Cal- I heard the interview with McSweeney. Salvi tried so hard to be nice, but it was clear McSweeney is a lot more like Nixon than Reagan. His "callers" said exactly what was in McSweeney's ads 2 days later. McSweeney now says he isn't for a woman's right to choose in the first two months as a way to eliminate all abortions eventually. But, he says his position hasn't changed. The media seems to give him a pass on this. Bean wants to run against him, not Salvi.
Cal,
I heard that radio interview. I think that the host Al Salvi was just being fair, to McSweeney who apparently could not find it his soul to be fair back. He was just kicking, well you know what he was kicking, to cloud the real issues.
