		<description>Danny, I can assure you that as with any campaign the positives for one candidate were negatives for another... The same thing that made Mckinney attractive to Gulf Shores/ Orange Beach made him unattractive on the eastern shore. As for specific negative ads there weren&#039;t any particular &quot;negative&quot; ads. There were fliers that pointed out PAC support, but that was the only mailer/ad I saw. Danny, Thanks for your pointed blogging, we can count on your objectivism.</description>

		<description>Anonymous in Comment #10,

Most of the readers here did &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/i&gt; see and hear any smear tactics that came from Pittman - particularly since most of the readers don&#039;t live in Senate District 32.  Could you tell us specifically what they were?

The observer I talked to from the Senate District &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.politicalparlor.net/wp/2007/09/10/senate-district-32-run-off-tomorrow/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;told me that McKinney&#039;s ads were more &quot;pointed,&quot; i.e. negative&lt;/a&gt;, than Pittman&#039;s, and that Pittman might should have been more pointed himself.  He gave me examples of McKinney&#039;s ads.

Some really took offense at McKinney&#039;s ad saying that Democratic Party Chair Joe Turnham supports Pittman, when that was based on an endorsement from a group that Turnham has not been a part of for years. 

I haven&#039;t heard any specific examples of how Pittman was campaigning negatively.  Could you provide some?

Thank you.

		<description>Randy McKinney has proved himself over and over to be THE honest, honorable, knowledgeable candidate for Senator.  You saw and heard that all the smear tactics came from Pittman, but NOT ONE SINGLE SLUR came from Randy McKinney.  We much prefer the candidate who holds himself to a higher standard...Randy McKinney.</description>

		<description>Sounds to me like Randy Mckinney represents special interest groups. I&#039;ll give Trip Pittman my vote.</description>

		<description>If you&#039;re going to leave Sound-off style comments, you might as well do so in the press register... Otherwise give actual background in your comments. 

On another note, Mckinney clearly has the support of Montgomery, and possibly the AEA. The interesting thing about the smear phone calls is that one was based out of Montgomery, the other out of Mobile... (Do a Blue page search of the number) My caller ID listed the numbers as &quot;Alabam...&quot;  It sounds like someone with the capabilities to use Phone tree messaging... Am I the only one who recieved phone messages from someone other than Mckinney? Interesting to note the numbers were from the same address. 

Sum up: if you want to know who&#039;s leaving the slanderous messages, use available resources and do so... Stop randomly blaming candidates. I&#039;ve presented readers with what I&#039;ve found using online blue pages. you can do the same for yourself if you&#039;d like.</description>

		<description>I am not sure Riley would appoint Pittman to the school board since Pittman didn&#039;t support the Riley/McKinney/Hubbert tax hike in 2003.  Riley wants people he can boss around and make do whatever he wants even if it&#039;s raising our taxes.</description>

		<description>Sounds like Chris Brown, who is consulting on Pittman&#039;s campaign, is up to some of his dirty tricks.</description>

		<description>Or a better idea would be to reward Randy for the good job you said he&#039;s done and send him to the Senate.  Gov. Riley could then appoint Pittman to the school board, especially since Pittman has previously served on ACHE.  Sounds like a MUCH better idea, doesn&#039;t it?</description>

		<description>I think McKinney&#039;s done a good job on the School Board, so I&#039;d rather leave him there and send Pittman to Montgomery.  That&#039;s the best of both worlds.</description>

		<description>ALFA raised my insurance rates and Riley and his revenue dept. raised my taxes and they are both for McKinney. Maybe you can really know people by the company they keep--Pittman got&#039; my vote.</description>

		<description>So, McKinney is about the insurance issue on the coast and property valuation.

Interesting, when Alfa is running his campaign and they have canceled thousands of policies on the coast.

And everytime I see some sort of ad for McKinney, he&#039;s in a loving embrace with Bob Riley. Baldwin County is tired of their property taxes going through the roof, and they lay the blame at the Governor&#039;s feet.

McKinney answers to the political muscle of Montgomery, pure and simple.</description>
