Businessman David Perdue (R) is firing back at former charity executive Michelle Nunn’s (D) recent attack ads, calling them “desperate” and “untrue” in a new spot tying her to President Obama.
{mosads}”Michelle Nunn’s desperate, untrue attacks on David Perdue hide her real goal. That’s hiding her support of Barack Obama’s job-killing, big government policies,” the ad’s narrator says.
The ad comes in the wake of news that Perdue said in a 2005 deposition that he had spent “most of [his] career” focused on outsourcing, and on the same day Nunn launched a spot of her own highlighting those comments.
She had previously aired ads attacking Perdue for his role in Pillowtex, a North Carolina textile company that closed shortly after he left the company.
How voters perceive the debate over Perdue’s business record — and how closely he can tie Nunn to President Obama — will go a long way towards determining who wins this top Senate race.
New polling shows Perdue with a slight lead in the race. The two candidates will square off for their first official debate Tuesday evening.
