Marshall calls Burr's ad a fairy tale. She's right.

In response to Burr's first television ad, Elaine Marshall responds like the veteran she is. Mark Binker runs it down.

Update: The Marshall campaigns responds with a spiffy PDF (link) dressed up to look like a ye olde document that calls Burr's ad a "fairy tale." It tries to knock down statements in the ad in compare and contrast style. A couple examples from the response:

* He said he was “down home North Carolina.” In reality, he was one of the largest recipients of special interest cash in Washington.

* He said he’s “listening, working for us.” But Richard Burr voted to bailout big Wall Street banks, while blocking tax credits and increased lending to small business.

I'm still wondering why Republicans have so much trouble coming up with ONE THING Burr has actually accomplished. If this is what he means by "leadership," it's no wonder our country is so screwed up.

Don't watch this ad on a full stomach, and when you do watch it, don't expect to see any people of color in the mix. That's the Richard Burr way.
