So here it is, less than a month till Election Day, and Jack McMullen has suddenly begun to flog “the key issue in the campaign.” Yep, after running for Attorney General for months on what might best be called “watered-down TJ Donovan,” Six Teats has finally discovered “the key issue.”

And, since he’s a Republican running for a law-enforcement office, you get one guess what the issue is.

Crime.

And Jack’s new TV ad is the usual Republican Panic In Needle Park stuff, as Paul Heintz reports:

It features footage of two somewhat preppy-looking drug dealers handing off the goods, as well as a still shot of an older woman with purple bruises below her eye and on her lips.

… McMullen said he wasn’t sure of the provenance of the image depicting the beat-up woman, nor whether the bruises are real, but he said, “We wanted graphic images of what actually happens… We thought it was representative of the kind of things that happen.”

In other words, stock images from the FearMongers’ Collection.

Anyway, congratulations to Jack McMullen for finally, belatedly discovering “the key issue in the campaign” after wandering in the wilderness for so long. And congratulations to Jack for finally discovering a ready source for campaign cash: his own pocket.

Too bad it’s way too late in the game to reset his entire campaign.
