Wow. You really have to see this Republican attack ad -- it's one of the strangest negative spots we've ever seen. The spot, courtesy of the NRCC, attacks the Dem candidate in the Louisiana House election that's being held this Saturday by painting him as soft on drunk drivers -- with a vivid dramatization of a car wreck:"Take Jimmy Ray White: Three prior drunk-driving offenses, but he's out on the street," the announcer says, as the road is speeding by the viewer. "Then White kills a teenager in a hit-and-run car accident."Wow.Democratic candidate Paul Carmouche, a district attorney and relatively conservative Dem, has been running close in the polls against right-wing GOP candidate John Fleming in the race for this open GOP-held seat. As with the Georgia Senate runoff, this is probably going to be a low-turnout affair in which the parties have to really get the voters' attention -- and if this ad doesn't get people's attention, nothing will.
