Haven't seen any Michelle Nunn ads yet but plenty of Perdue attack ads

[groundloop]

I've already seen that lie filled ad by Perdue (Michelle Nunn supports Obamacare and Obamacare is going to cost 400,000 Georgians their healthcare) several times, but have yet to see a single solitary ad by Michelle Nunn's campaign. IMO if her campaign doesn't roll out some facts pretty darned fast then Perdue's lie is going to become 'fact' in many voters' minds. I certainly hope her campaign is up to the task.

1. I love the anti-Nunn ads.

Tying Nunn to Obama/Obamacare is a win for Nunn in a state like Georgia.

I'm fine with them.

Are you sure they are being put out by Perdue?

I also agree it would be nice to see some ads from Nunn, or anti-Perdue ads from Democrats.

2. OK, I can't say with certainty who's putting out that ad

It could be the Perdue campaign or it could be a right wing Super-PAC.

Regardless, I don't quite buy

Tying Nunn to Obama/Obamacare is a win for Nunn in a state like Georgia.

UNLESS the Nunn campaign very quickly gets some facts out there. That lie about Obamacare costing 400,000 Georgians their health insurance is certainly going to be noticed, and unless it's counteracted very quickly it will become truth for many voters (ask John Kerry about that).

I'd think that the Nunn campaign would come out with something detailing the benefits of the Affordable Care Act, saying YES, I support regulations that keep insurance companies from cutting off healthcare for pre-existing conditions. YES, I support being able to keep children on your health insurance until they're 25. etc. etc.

3. Don't disagree that it's important to correct the lies, but..

I think Obama is still loved by many minorities in Georgia and pointing out the fact that Nunn is close to Obama could energize a group that doesn't always vote in off year elections. Not only will it make some happy to see Nunn with someone they still love, but it will piss some off because they see it as trying to tear down Obama.

And, don't forget that Obamacare medicaid expansion was rejected in Georgia. There are many people, including a lot of Republicans, that would love to get Obamacare that can't. Showing that Nunn supports Obamacare could be more of a win than a loss.

4. You can get Obamacare in Georgia, just not Medicaid.

My neighbor had been out of work for a while and has Obamacare, but she is not able to get Medicaid.
