Today's Raleigh News & Observer has an article titled
Contest for 13th already strident. The article describes the attacks that incumbent (and regular Kosack) Brad Miller has been receiving from his Republican challenger Vernon Robinson. You have to read it because its such a great demonstration of hysterical Republican rhetoric and also because I think the N&O does a responsible job of addressing the claims.
These attacks are detailed in a sidebar
Do Robinson's charges stand up? They include:
* Miller is childless,
* Miller is gay, and
* While at the London School of Economics, Miller was indoctinated against free market competition. (No word on whether that was a class there or whether it was a whole course of study)
But, my personal favorite attack is that Brad uses the "c" word and the "p" word here on Daily Kos. For those of you who don't know, that's "Crap", and "Pissed off."
Hopefully, this Dem-leaning district will tell Robinson to "Cheney-off" this fall.
