Archbishop of New Orleans Meets With David Vitter On Illegal Immigration Ad

TPM has Religious And Ethnic Coalition Presses Vitter To Take Down And Apologize For Insensitive Ad

I am supporting Vitter but I truly hate this ad. I am not sure why he ran it when he should win the race fairly easy. Further in this ad and age this ad goes national and it is going to hurt other Republicans among Hispanics. Further this is not exactly helping Cao in New Orleans either. Just not smart. Also it makes fun and belittles a very complex and emotional issue which is not helpful.

That being said I would not expect to see that AD much more. It is not some much because the Archbishop talked to him that will cause that ad to stop. A reliable source has told me last week the campaign has decided to go all positive and this ad should be pulled.

On the flip side it is nice to see that at least the Senator met with his Archbishop on this issue. Maybe that will occur more in the future on this issue as well as others.
