New Deutsch for Senate tv ad focuses on 2000 election This afternoon, the Peter Deutsch campaign is releasing a new television ad whose topic is the 2000 election.  Featuring Representative Alcee Hastings, and Michael Moore, it contains a clip of Deutsch on the House floor on the day the results were certified. It appears that the clips of Michael Moore speaking, with Deutsch at his side are from the Democratic convention, where Moore had a press availability session with Representatives Deutsch, Hastings, and Corrine Brown (see July 28 and 29 Senate campaign news entries for details) Election  (Peter Deutsch for Senate, Windows media) Text of Peter Deutsch for Senate tv ad released August 13 Florida Senate Campaign, Politics comment []12:32:23 PM   trackback []

Democratic candidates Betty Castor, Peter Deutsch, and Alex Penelas signed the pledge to not attack each other before the primary. Deutsch had a little something to add to the pledge: "Nothing herein would prohibit candidates raising legitimate differences with the votes, issue positions or judgments made by the other candidates," Deutsch adds little postscript to pledge (St Petersburg Times) Senate hopefuls vow to spare mud (Orlando Sentinel) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Republican candidate Sonya March wrote a reply to the St Petersburg Times endorsement of Mel Martinez.

In addition to being the best of the Democratic candidates in the primary, Betty is also the target of some horrible "independent expenditure" campaigns (much like Howard Dean was the victim of such low-ball tactics during the Iowa caucuses). Her campaign is bringing the people of Florida together, but she needs national support to keep the seat Democratic. www.bettynet.com The sixth Dean Dozen (Oak Cliff for Dean) Dr. Dean praises Castor's healthy families plan (Betty Castor for U.S. Senate) Florida Senate Campaign, Politics comment []10:29:24 AM   trackback []
