Obama Endorsement Becomes Toxic For Mississippi Democrat

Obama Endorsement Becomes Toxic For Mississippi Democrat

Travis Childers, the Democratic congressional candidate who has the chance to flip Mississippi's first congressional district from Republican to Democrat, is so concerned with Mississippi voters falsely believing that he's been endorsed by Barack Obama that he has decided to cut an ad calling that claim "an attack."

Republican Greg Davis links Rev. Jeremiah Wright through Obama to Childers using a silly but apparently time-tested guilt by association advertisement. Childers's new ad protests. . His family, he says in the spot, "has heard the lies and attacks linking me to politicians I don't know and have never even met." (The Davis ad also refers to Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi, as well as Obama.)
