Could Charlotte Pritt change the face of election advertising?
Advertisements [?]
Meet Charlotte Pritt.



FAYETTEVILLE — Charlotte Pritt took the stand Tuesday in Fayette County Circuit Court and disputed Republican ads that she said distorted her patriotism and her beliefs when she ran for governor.

Almost nine years ago, Pritt sued three Republican organizations, alleging they libeled her when she was the Democratic nominee for governor.

Pritt told jurors she felt like someone who suffered from “a bully on the playground calling you names. This was a type of violence.”

She alluded to the current national political climate of negative ads. By filing suit, she said she hoped “we can stop this from happening in the future.” She also said she hoped to have her reputation and integrity restored.

Now, whether she wins or not, she just might have changed the way that politcal ads are created. Personally, I think she has a good chance to win this one and that would be a win for us all.

So, what do you think? Can one woman change the way we advertise for and against candidates?

I know Charlotte. I think she can and has.
