Latham On the Attack

Tom Latham promised 2 weeks ago in a debate on WHO Radio with Selden Spencer that he would keep his campaign positive and not run negative ads. However, in the past week, Latham has pulled his postive ads in favor of negative ads that attack Spencer.

Then I heard that Latham's campaign sent radio stations around the 4th District a fax that says Spencer's radio ads featuring Wes Clark are against the FEC laws and should be pulled. One problem. The fax quotes the FEC regulations for TV ads, not radio ads. Spencer's ads with Clark are totally legal, Latham just doesn't like them because they tell the truth. This makes me wonder what Latham's internal polling numbers are showing.
