Gov candidates air closing campaign ads: Gregoire

By Bryan Bissell, PolitickerWA.com Reporter

Gov. Chris Gregoire concluded her campaign media season with an ad that focuses on her record and tries to display her opponent, Republican Dino Rossi, as out of touch with Washington state.

The spot, called “Every Morning”, makes a populist play in labeling Rossi as someone who would stand with the wealthy and the special interests over regular working folk. The special interst is a clear jab at Rossi’s relationship with the Building Industry Association of Washington, the builders group that spent millions on Rossi’s behalf.

Rossi ad seeks to tie Gregoire to income tax

By Bryan Bissell, PolitickerWA.com Reporter

Dino Rossi is up on the air with a new campaign ad called "Income Tax" that tries to tie Gov. Chris Gregoire to supporting a state income tax based on a statement she made to the Spokesman-Review editorial board.

The ad features Gregoire saying the line, "we need to have some sort of conversion over to a partial income tax" followed by Gregoire saying she has never supported an income tax.

It then accuses her of lying about the issue and says, "we don't need a new income tax. We need a new governor."

By Bryan Bissell, PolitickerWA.com Reporter

Dino Rossi's campaign for governor launched a new ad today called "Taxes" that seeks to paint Gregoire as a tax-raiser, and ties her to a state income tax.

Rossi's ad calls attention to a claim Gregoire made during her 2004 campaign about not raising taxes, which they claim she broke. The ad then plays a similar statement Gregoire made during this year's campaign and suggests she will raise taxes despite her statements.
