Up until this point in the (legislative, anyway) campaigns, the blizzard of oversized glossy cards being mailed to homes by the candidates have extolled, in somewhat superficial, graphics-heavy fashion, the virtues of the candidate doing the mailing.
Late last week, however, Art House, a Democrat running for the open District 8 state Senate seat, sent out a mailer attacking his opponent, Republican state Rep. Kevin Witkos, on the issue of abortion.
On one side of the flier is a picture of a woman apparently pondering "deep, personal decisions," as the flier makes reference to.
On the other side, there is a split screen ... Art House, his wife and two daughters on one side, smiling on a white background, and then Kevin Witkos, in a black and white photo, against an ominous black background.
It says, "Kevin Witkos: Wrong on Choice. Wrong for Us," in big letters and claims that Witkos "doesn't support the right to safe and legal abortions," without elaborating on the specifics of his position.
