A state Republican Party mailing accuses Democratic congressional candidate David Ashe--a Marine Corps veteran who served in Iraq--of "weakening the war on terror" by supporting John Kerry.

A flier sent on behalf of his Republican opponent, Thelma Drake, says Ashe and the Democratic presidential candidate are "two peas in a pod" on "issues like higher taxes, abortion on demand and the war on terror."

Drake, a five-term House of Delegates member from Norfolk, and Ashe, a political newcomer, are seeking to succeed Rep. Ed Schrock in the 2nd Congressional District. Schrock dropped his bid for a third term after a Web site reported that he had used a gay telephone dating service to solicit men for sex.

The Republican mailing depicts the faces of Kerry and Ashe sticking out of a pea pod.

1. Well, that is preaching to the choir.

But for the people who favor Kerry, it's an endorsement for Ashe, isn't it?

2. Party affiliation is the war on terra litmus test to these marketing hacks
