35. I think the ad he ran comparing the Republican to the Taliban and taking quotes out of context...

Hurt him. Even if true, it was a nasty ad. It didn't play well at all. I think it cemented him in the eyes of many as a loon and though that isn't right, it's something EVERY Democrat has to be aware of when they're running. The media is quick to paint Democrats as something and if they feed into that stereotype, it often costs people votes.

It's not right, but it is what it is. You know?
