Smash-mouth tactics are unseemly in Va.

Smash-mouth tactics are unseemly in Va.

Krystal Ball owes an apology to the voters of the 1st Congressional District for insulting our intelligence with her most recent mailing.

It featured a cute little girl with the words "Congressman Rob Wittman cares more about Wall Street than he does about her."

What will her next mailing be? A picture of a puppy with the caption "Congressman Wittman will torture this puppy unless you vote for Krystal Ball"?

Virginia's 1st Congressional District was once the home of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. This kind of cheap smash-mouth campaign tactic has no place here--even if it is unintentionally comical.
