Who knew? Is he 72?
Ummm…if you are going to lose and are losing this round to build up your name for next round, don’t pull a stunt like this. It just hurts you. Rutherford has a reasonably good reputation amongst Democrats and independents generally like him, but this kind of crappy age baiting race-baiting commercial only gives the Dems ammunition for the next run. Worse, he takes a legit criticism about the family and friends and turns the debate to one about the campaign tactic. Even if you want to argue it wasn’t race baiting and I would like to see a similar family picture held up for a white candidate to show how it’s all irrelevant–it’s just bad campaign tactics.
BTW, Does this mean if McCain gets the GOP nod, Rutherford will be voting Dem?
