Regarding local races - anyone else noticing Rethugs not advertising they are rethugs?

[HardWorkingDem]

We have a local state rep race going on right now where the Rethug does not advertise she is a Rethug at all. It's not in her local tv ads or on her posted signs. Is this happening elsewhere?

1. Dino Rossi running for Gov in Wash. St. He calls himself 'prefers GOP'.

2. Gordon Smith here in ORYGUN is avoiding the Republican brand. NT

9. I love Gordon's ad where he talks about how he & Ted Kennedy fought for gay rights.

Second only to that is the one where he talks about how he worked with Barack Obama to get stuff done.

3. Same thing happening in central florida

When someone does not announce party affiliation we assume he is republican....

4. In Ohio, they are only saying "conservative"-call it what you will

No rally around Bush either.

6. And many of them arent even saying that.

not even in the tiny print in their ads.

5. Yes in AZ the Republican Tim Bee says

he's Independence for a Change. But never once on his signs nor on his TV ads does he mention he is a republican!

7. Gordon Smith is turning this into an art form.

I just saw one of his ads that is mostly a series of shots of Teddy Kennedy!

8. Yep here in NC too with some local races...

but its from both sides.

10. They may not say they are, but on the

ballot they will all be on the Republican side of it. I plan on only checking the Democratic side. neener neener

12. In some States I noticed that the Republicans have gotten the

State election board to agree not to include party affiliation on the ballots. I think this is yet a further cheap trick. The next one will be to put R next to all the Dems and a D next to all the Republicans....just so it does not confuse the voting public....ha

11. I was going to add one who's doing this in FL, but she's a Dem!

Your post reminded me to check, I've been meaning to for days. Suzanne Kosmas is running against Tom Feeney (R-FL-24). Her ads are quite good -- wounded vets asking why Feeney voted against them so many times -- but there's no indication given of her party.

I really thought she must be trying to hide that she's a Repub...but on second thought, here in FL, the reverse could work in her favor. People might listen to her message instead of tune her out because she's a Dem.
