Dirty Politics

In 2007, Louisiana Republican Senator, David Vitter, admitted to having committed a "sin". His phone number was found in the list for a Washington prostitution ring. He was able to win re-election in his state by playing of a strong anti-Obama sentiment that took hold of many in the state. Now, his opponent for this year, Charlie Melancon, is going to release the above campaign ad about Vitter's forgotten crime. In the ad, his "constituents" testified and said that he should be punished because he broke the law. They criticize him for writing the laws and then breaking them. The ad itself is really long (for a campaign ad) and it almost seems a bit desperate on behalf of Melancon. I' am all for exposing politicians because it is hypocritical that they condemn certain actions and then they themselves do them. Vitter played of being a huge family man during his campaigns and look at him: a prostitute solicitor and according to the ad, a fast solicitor ( he wasn't there more than 15 minutes). 
Any who, i thought this ad was a prime example of several of the subjects we have been talking about in class. Just goes to show how careful politicians have to be. We just have to see how this affects voters. What do you guys think about this?
