Sonny’s response, and his wife
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Click here to see the response that Sonny Perdue tossed onto the airwaves Friday afternoon, in immediate response to Mark Taylor’s slap at him over the Florida land deal.
Two things to note: First, the general nature of the Perdue ad tells us that it was in the can and ready to go long before Taylor’s ad struck. Secondly, we can’t remember when the wife of a candidate for governor played such a prominent role in her husband’s defense.
This is an interesting psychological move. It’s one thing to question a man’s ethics. Questioning a man’s ethics in front of his wife is a bit different. We’re not exactly sure how, but it is different.
You’ll note the response by Rick Dent, spokesman for Taylor. He made fun of the dog, not Mary Perdue.
