Midterms unleash what may be the nastiest barrage of attack ads yet

It’s last-minute garbage time as the midterms are just over a week away, with candidates uncorking their dirtiest ads, their filthiest charges and their ugliest rhetoric. 

This barrage is fueled as never before by social media, and a surging public interest since any one of a dozen states could tip the battle for Senate control.  

I feel like taking a shower. 

The chairman of Montana’s Democratic Party, Shannon O’Brien, just resigned, underscoring the extreme sensitivity to national politics.
