Incumbent Republican Jim Gerlach's 3001 vote margin of victory might have come at the hands of MoveOn.org,  according to Bill Levinson, Gerlach's campaign was the only one that had used the MoveOn.org Action-Forum's anti-semitic postings as part of their advertisements.

Bill writes...

This race is significant because:

(1) Jim Gerlach (R) was projected to lose to Lois Murphy ( MoveOn.org Democrat)

(2) The Gerlach campaign was, as far as we know, the only one to have followed our advice to use MoveOn.org's record of welcoming hate speech at its Action Forum to damage his MoveOn-backed opponent.

The Gerlach campaign used the following radio ad, which in turn relied on information that we provided.

The very same Lois Murphy who has accepted a quarter of a million dollars in support tied to the radical extremist group, MoveOn.org, who has been called anti-Semitic and anti-Catholic. Jewish leaders called an ad posted by MoveOn, featuring Hitler, as vile and shameful. Both Jewish leaders and the Catholic League have demanded candidates return money tied to MoveOn, and Lois Murphy hasn't returned one cent. Zip. None. Pretty telling about Lois Murphy, isn't it?
