Jerry Brown is starting an aggressive advertising campaign in his race for state attorney general against rightwing Republican Chuck Poochigian: Brown Airing Attack Spots: The Democrat's ads paint GOP attorney general rival Poochigian as an extremist by Eric Bailey Los Angeles Times 09/15/06
Jerry Brown
Bailey reports:
Brown, mayor of Oakland and a former California governor, hits Poochigian, a state senator from Fresno, in his 30-second spots for Poochigian's opposition to a ban on 50-caliber sniper rifles, abortion rights, stem cell research and tougher environmental rules. A fourth commercial extols Brown's support from California police chiefs and other law enforcement groups.
With early polls showing Brown enjoying a big lead over Poochigian, the start of a fight on the airwaves nearly two months before election day may signal a quick escalation of the "down-ballot" race, which has attracted national attention because of the presence of the former governor.
