Ad Wars. Tuition?

What Hillary Clinton called the “fun part” has started in the Governor’s race. Richard Moore and Bev Perdue are going at each other full-bore on TV.



Over college tuition, of all things. Who guessed that would be the burning issue this year?



Why? Because tuition sums up a host of middle-class economic anxieties. And it’s the best the oppo researchers could come up with when told to find a vote against families and against education by two Democratic candidates.



Perdue’s attack on Moore’s ties to “Wall Street’ reflects another trend I’ve blogged about: Democratic voters’ increasingly anti-corporate attitudes.
