Chron: Locke goes negative on Brown
REPORTERS BRADLEY OLSON AND MIKE SNYDER report for the Chron that the Gene Locke campaign has resorted to negative advertising:
"Peter Brown is spending millions of dollars in this mayor's race because he can't match Gene's longtime record of service," former City Councilman Jew Don Boney, associate director of the Mickey Leland Center for World Hunger at Texas Southern University, says in the ad. "But our community is not for sale."
Is it overly cynical to ask if the ultimate goal of politics isn't to buy more votes than your competitors? That being said, I will concur with Cory Crow's notion that actually asking for people's votes is pretty important, and Brown certainly has been doing that, in abundance. We'll leave it to others to debate the fact he's largely spending his own cash on the race.
