</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">A years-long campaign is bearing fruit. In one of the ads Americans for Prosperity (AFP) has put on the air this year, a thirtysomething actress stands against a white backdrop and looks into the camera. “People don’t like political ads,” she says plaintively. “I don’t like them either. But health care isn’t about politics, it’s about people, and millions of people have lost their health insurance, millions of people can’t see their own doctors, and millions are paying more and getting less.” At the close, a narrator urges viewers to “tell Mary Landrieu to stop thinking about politics and start thinking about people.” Such ads have also run against Mark Pryor in Arkansas, Mark Udall in Colorado, and incumbent Democratic House members in Arizona, Florida, and New Hampshire. Ads like the “white ad,” as it has become known, are not new to 2014. They are part of a sustained assault against Obamacare mounted with the help of the donor network organized by Charles and David Koch and the array of social-welfare groups it funds. The ads themselves, which have inflamed Democrats this election season, represent five years of knowledge, accumulated through polls and focus groups, about how to use the health-care issue to pull Americans into the GOP camp.&nbsp;</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">With AFP having spent over $30 million so far this year to bring down sitting Democratic senators, the ads also symbolize the changing nature of American politics. Since the Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United decision, unlimited outside spending by 501(c)(4) social-welfare groups has finally allowed Republicans to match the political muscle of labor unions, whose spending was also blown open by the decision, but which have long poured money into Democratic coffers. That newfound equity is one reason why the AFP ads have sent Democrats into a tailspin and led them to make the ads, and two of the people funding them, a major campaign issue of 2014. Senate majority leader Harry Reid devoted much of a news conference and an entire speech on the Senate floor to attacking the Koch brothers, calling their efforts “un-American” and accusing them of trying to rig the political system in their favor. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has launched a digital campaign around the rallying cry “The GOP is addicted to Koch!” “The Koch Brothers have already spent $30 million this year savaging Democratic Senate candidates in an effort buy a U.S. Senate that is good for their family and bad for just about every other family in America,” the group said. AFP president Tim Phillips dismisses attacks like this as the “villain approach” to politics and says he’s not only skeptical of their efficacy but finds them morally repugnant. “If you google AFP, you’ll find that we’ve never gone after George Soros. It’s the right of every American to be involved in the political process — and frankly, the responsibility.”</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">

When he surveyed the landscape,&nbsp;<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Noble found only 501(c)(3) groups such as the Galen Institute and the Pacific Research Institute,&nbsp;</span>which, unlike 501(c)(4)s, are prohibited from participating in campaign-related activity. There weren’t any groups operating in the (c)(4) space devoted to putting the brakes on a national health bill. For Kendrick, events added a sense of urgency to the cause.&nbsp;</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">It was November of 2008: President Obama had won the election, and rumors swirled that he was set to nominate former South Dakota senator Tom Daschle to serve as secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services — a nomination eventually derailed by news that Daschle had for years failed to pay taxes on a car and driver lent to him by a wealthy friend. Kendrick had read Daschle’s 2008 book Critical: What We Can Do About the Health-Care Crisis and saw it as a blueprint for the legislation the Obama administration would look to enact. She was alarmed. Daschle noted polls and research showing that the political climate in 2008 was more favorable to a fundamental reform of the nation’s health-care system than it was in the early 1990s, when Hillarycare sputtered out. He pointed to growing support for “a so-called individual mandate” and urged readers to help overcome “the mistaken belief that we have the best health care in the world.”&nbsp;</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>The result of Kendrick and Noble’s efforts was the Center to Protect Patient Rights (CPPR),</b>&nbsp;which was incorporated in April 2009 and funded largely through donations from the Koch network. The two attended a June 2009 Koch donor seminar in Aspen, Colo., where, Noble says, a federal takeover of health care was for the first time introduced to donors as an issue of urgent importance. Before lunch on the third and final day of the seminar, Noble says, Kendrick delivered an “impassioned speech” on the topic. “People were moved to tears by how invested she was in this,” Noble says, and at the lunch that followed her remarks, donors spontaneously pledged $13 million to the cause. Since then, similar lunches have raised over $100 million. ** With that largesse, CPPR produced dozens of ads that targeted hundreds of Democratic congressmen in the 2010 midterm elections, when Republicans regained 63 seats and recaptured the House majority in the largest midterm romp since 1938. Noble coordinated the disbursement of over $50 million to several other groups that paid to put the ads on the air: Americans for Prosperity, the 60 Plus Association, Americans for Job Security, Americans for Limited Government, and the American Future Fund.<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">&nbsp;Two years later,&nbsp;<b>California&nbsp;</b>officials? levied a $1 million fine on CPPR when they determined the group failed to disclose the intermediary sources of independent expenditures it made to oppose two ballot propositions in the state. CPPR funneled money to multiple groups, Noble says, both to protect the anonymity of donors and because IRS regulations prohibit any individual (c)(4) group from spending more than 50 percent of its time on candidate-related political activity.&nbsp;</span></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">In 2010, though, the activity of the groups was extraordinarily well-orchestrated, with no two groups airing ads in the same congressional district. Attack ads against Democratic incumbents blanketed the country:&nbsp;</span>The&nbsp;<b>60 Plus&nbsp;</b>Association spent to air ads in Arizona’s 1st congressional district, Florida’s 2nd and 24th, Indiana’s 2nd, Minnesota’s 8th, New York’s 20th, Ohio’s 16th, Pennsylvania’s 3rd, and Wisconsin’s 3rd and 8th, for example, while&nbsp;<b>Americans for Job Security</b>&nbsp;put up ads in New York’s 24th, North Carolina’s 2nd and 8th, Ohio’s 18th, and Virginia’s 9th. The American Future Fund put up spots in Alabama’s 2nd, Colorado’s 7th, New Mexico’s 1st, and Washington’s 2nd.&nbsp;</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">To craft and produce the ads,<b>&nbsp;Noble brought in GOP pollster and wordsmith Frank Luntz and ad guru Larry McCarthy, the latter famous for producing the 1988 Willie Horton</b>&nbsp;ad that helped to sink Michael Dukakis’s presidential campaign.</span>&nbsp;In a series of focus groups, Luntz concluded that ads with an “ideological” feel to them wouldn’t work. “They weren’t credible or relevant to people in their day-to-day lives,” he says. “There was one political operative who thought rationing was the big issue. That wasn’t conceivable to people.” Neither was talk of death panels. Instead,<b> Luntz found that emotional appeals were more effective and that women were considered more credible than men on the issue. “Women are more focused on quality of life and peace of mind,” Luntz says.</b></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;This year, all of AFP’s testimonial ads feature middle-class women speaking from their homes: Donna Marzullo and Helen DePrima in New Hampshire, Shannon Wendt and Julie Boonstra in Michigan, and a woman identified as Wanda in Marion, Ark. (Fact-checkers have called into question the accuracy of the testimonials delivered in some of these ads, as well as Reid’s contention that they are “absolutely false” and “made up from whole cloth.”) “What Frank did,” Noble says, “is he took political guys like me and like Larry and had to kind of shake us into understanding that we needed to treat this differently than we would a political campaign, that we had to do this not by beating someone over the head but by persuading.” Luntz, he says, “took the strengths of our arguments and amplified them.” CPPR’s initial efforts were aimed at preventing Obamacare’s passage, and one of the first ads Noble and McCarthy produced was a personalized warning about the dangers of nationalized health care. Over Memorial Day weekend in 2009, it went on the air in eight states that were home to crucial members of the Senate Finance Committee — including Republicans Susan Collins and Chuck Grassley — which was responsible for voting the bill that would become the Affordable Care Act out of committee and into the full Senate.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;In the ad, “Survivor,” paid for by one of AFP’s 501(c)(4) arms, PatientsUnitedNow, Ontario native Shona Holmes told viewers about her experience with the Canadian health-care system. “I survived a brain tumor, but if I had relied on my government for health care, I’d be dead,” she said. “I am a Canadian citizen, and as my brain tumor got worse, my government health-care system told me I had to wait six months to see a specialist. In six months, I would have died.” The ad blanketed the airwaves on Fox News; CNN’s Dana Bash flew to Ontario to interview Holmes and tell her story; and Jake Tapper, then of ABC News, took questions about her case to Canadian prime minister Stephen Harper. Noble and his team at CPPR, which functioned out of the office of his consulting firm, <b>DC London</b>, in Washington, D.C., also worked with Americans for Prosperity and several other groups to turn out voters opposed to the emerging bill at the town-hall forums that senators were hosting in their home states during the 2009 August recess.&nbsp;</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">“We knew we had to make that summer absolute hell</span>,” Noble says. Local AFP chapters activated their networks, and CPPR placed calls to seniors who were considered Republican base voters, people over the age of 65 who had voted consistently in GOP primaries, urging them to come out to the town halls and arming them with talking points. The Cook Political Report wondered in September 2009 whether 2010 would prove to be the year “angry white seniors” decided the election in favor of Republicans, much the way “angry white males” were said to have turned the tide in 1994.&nbsp;<b>“We packed these town halls</b>&nbsp;with people who were just screaming about this thing,” Noble recalls. Scenes from those meetings, of constituents blowing up at their elected representatives and of public forums descending into chaos, blanketed the news throughout August. At a forum in Philadelphia where Arlen Specter (since deceased) appeared with Health and Human Services secretary Kathleen Sebelius, the crowd, with spectators lining the walls, exploded when Specter admitted that he hadn’t personally read the legislation — which ran over 1,000 pages — but instead had assigned it out to his staff. “We expected we could turn out 250 people there,” Noble says. “Over 1,000 showed up.” “You have to make judgments very fast,” Specter explained as the audience shouted him down. Sebelius didn’t make any friends when she jumped to his defense. “The Senate bill isn’t written,” she said, “so don’t boo the senator for not reading a bill that isn’t written.” The crowd booed her in turn.&nbsp;</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">* CPPR’s strategy changed when the House passed the Affordable Care Act and President Obama signed it into law in March 2010. Noble and his team set their sights on returning the House to the GOP. “We made a deliberate recommendation that you gotta focus on the House,” Noble says. “That’s where this bill passed. Pelosi broke so many arms of Democrats that had no business voting for that bill. Obamacare clearly was the watershed moment that provided the juice to deliver the majority back to the Republicans in the House.” On June 8, 2010, an&nbsp;<b>Excel spreadsheet listed 64 Democratic congressmen in order of the likelihood of their defeat.</b>&nbsp;The list of targets expanded to 88 in June and to 105 in August. Each of the House districts identified was given a<b>&nbsp;“win potential” between 1 and 5 and a score</b>&nbsp;between 1 and 40 based on the voting record of each member and the composition of the district, among other things. The 105 candidates were ultimately divided into three tiers based on the likelihood of a GOP victory, and resources were allotted accordingly. On Election Day, Republicans snatched 48 of the 50 seats in “tier 1” from Democrats and 61 of the 80 seats in the top two tiers. Noble and company went up with ads in June 2010, earlier than outside groups had ever gone on the air before.&nbsp;</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">By August, some of the most vulnerable Democrats had been damaged so badly that the ads were no longer needed</span>. That was the case in Colorado’s fourth district, where Democratic incumbent Betsy Markey was running for reelection against<b>&nbsp;Republican Cory Gardner.&nbsp;</b>For a week in June and two weeks in August, Americans for Prosperity ran an ad against Markey that featured a series of her constituents, one of whom declared, “Markey betrayed us by voting for a government health-care plan.” With Markey’s own polling showing her approval rating at 38 percent, Noble says, “we did not spend another dime in that race from August until Election Day.” Between June and November, CPPR and the constellation of groups to which it disbursed millions of dollars in funds sought to tie Democrats not to President Obama, who inspires warm feelings among most Americans, but to&nbsp;<b>House speaker Nancy Pelosi. They used her name like a dirty word.&nbsp;</b></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The 60 Plus Association told Floridians that “Alan Grayson and Suzanne Kosmas are putting Nancy Pelosi’s liberal agenda ahead of seniors.” The American Future Fund told South Dakota voters that Stephanie Herseth Sandlin “votes to support Nancy Pelosi’s agenda more than 90 percent of the time.” Americans for Job Security put constituents from North Carolina’s second congressional district on the air to tell voters that their congressman, Bob Etheridge, “voted for Nancy Pelosi’s health-care plan.” Luntz’s research had demonstrated the need to tie Democratic congressmen to a more national figure. President Obama and Harry Reid proved far less likely than Pelosi to push swing voters into the Republican camp. “When we tied them to Pelosi, swing voters were more likely to vote against them 65 percent of them time,” Noble says. “She was absolutely toxic for her conference with swing voters.” Surprisingly, she produced a more negative reaction among women than did Reid and Obama. The political climate was so hostile to Democrats that Noble wound up running ads against Democrats who fell into tier 3, incumbents he’d determined it would be difficult to pick off. “There was some interesting stretching of the field that no one thought was possible,” he says. In late October, the 60 Plus Association dumped $100,000 into an ad buy in Minnesota’s eighth congressional district, where incumbent Jim Oberstar, the chairman of the Transportation Committee, had served for over three decades.&nbsp;</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">His opponent, a young Navy captain and virtually a political unknown, was deeply underfunded. The spot featured a picture of Oberstar with a grinning Pelosi looming in the background. “He votes with his party 97 percent of the time,” a narrator said, “for $500 billion in Medicare cuts, Nancy Pelosi’s budgets, and debts future generations can’t afford.” Cook Political Report analyst David Wasserman noted that “even many local Republicans can’t get their head around the idea that Navy Captain Chip Cravaack, who in July had $24,000 in the bank to Oberstar’s $1.1 million and warned that the U.S. was headed towards socialism under President Obama, is a serious threat to the 36-year House veteran and Transportation Committee chair.” On Election Day, Cravaack eked out a victory by 1.6 percentage points.&nbsp;</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">*&nbsp;</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>AFP has taken the lead in the ad wars</b> again this year. The Center to Protect Patient Rights, under Noble’s leadership, recently rebranded itself as American Encore, a group that will focus on a broader set of issues including the proposed IRS regulations and the free-enterprise system. AFP’s goal is to help recapture the Senate. AFP president Tim Phillips thinks it’s possible to do so by pressing the Obamacare issue. “Some say the further you get from the passage of a law, the tougher it gets to move America,” he tells me, “but Obamacare is different because the impact is evolving, Americans’ experiences with the law are evolving, and most of them are bad.” Noble puts it more sharply. “What we warned people was going to happen is now happening,” he says, “so it’s a natural extension of the debate. Now we’re saying ‘We told you so’ without saying ‘We told you so.’” In the ads themselves, warnings from Canadians like Shona Holmes have been replaced by testimonials offered on a state-by-state basis from those who say they’ve been hurt by the health-care law. AFP has linked local victims with their lawmakers’ support for the bill. Noble is confident that just as the issue allowed Republicans to recapture the House in 2010, it will give the GOP the “juice” to reclaim the Senate in 2014. “It’s kind of like this great story,” he says. “We don’t know how it’s going to end, but Democrats are going to lose twice over it.” Much to the chagrin of angry Democrats, the ad war is one that shows no signs of letting up. According to Phillips, “We think of this as year five of what very well could be a decade-long or more effort to defeat government-run health care.” If Harry Reid thinks he’s fed up with the Kochs now, he may just be getting the first taste of what their political network has in stor Read more at:</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">

The man known for his infamous <font color="#FF0000">Willie Horton </font>commercial and now a key strategist at Restore Our Future talks about negative ads, super PACs, and his battle to help Romney beat Santorum in the Michigan primary.

by Lloyd Grove&nbsp; | February 21, 2012 4:45 AM EST

Republican media consultant Larry McCarthy bears little resemblance to Batman. At 59, with thinning hair, a whitening beard and a spreading belly, he hardly seems ready to leap into the fray and beat the living daylights out of bad guys.

larry-mccarthy-grove-teaser

Larry McCarthy, known for his infamous Willie Horton ad during the 1988 presidential election, is now a key strategist at Restore Our Future, a pro-Romney super PAC.&nbsp;

Yet the Caped Crusader metaphor is the one McCarthy chooses to describe his role at Restore Our Future, the pro-Mitt Romney super PAC that may—or, equally possible, may not—save his favorite presidential candidate from disastrous defeat in the Feb. 28 Michigan primary.

“When Commissioner Gordon needed Batman, he’d flash the bat signal in the sky,” the publicity-averse McCarthy tells me in a rare interview. “So we look to the sky and if we see the bat signal, we go there.”

Like every other Washington insider, McCarthy knows that if Romney loses Michigan—where he was born, his father was governor, and he’s been trailing archrival Rick Santorum in the latest polls—his campaign will be “barely breathing,” as a top Romney operative put it to me recently.

For the record, in his deceptively soft-spoken manner, McCarthy quibbles with that prognosis. “No, I don’t believe that’s the case, but obviously Michigan is a very important state for him,” he says, noting that Santorum’s Feb. 7 trifecta in the Colorado, Minnesota, and Missouri caucuses “vastly exceeded anyone’s expectations—certainly in the Romney campaign and probably in Santorum’s campaign. If Romney loses Michigan—which actually is one of his home states and does have real delegates at stake and has been hotly contested with advertising and campaigning—that’s not good, and may well give Santorum additional momentum going into Super Tuesday … I’m sure there will be no shortage of Wednesday-morning quarterbacking.”

Holy catastrophe, Batman!

As of Jan. 31, <span style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"><b>Restore Our Future </b></span>had raised $36 million—much of it in million-dollar checks from the former Massachusetts governor/leverage buyout mogul’s wealthy friends—and spent more than half that amount on television and radio ads attacking Santorum as a big-government pork-barrel spender and Romney’s previous archrival, Newt Gingrich, as a candidate with “too much baggage.” The multimillion-dollar barrage in Iowa and Florida effectively scuttled Gingrich’s campaign—at least for the moment. In the next seven days, McCarthy hopes he and the Romney camp can inflict similar damage on Santorum.

“Don’t know yet,” he says when I ask if their anti-Santorum exertions are bearing fruit. “We’ll know pretty soon.”

<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">

During his PowerPoint presentations to potential donors, McCarthy regularly invokes “the bat signal” to explain the <font color="#FF0000">super PAC</font>’s arm’s-length yet eerily telepathic connection to the Romney campaign proper.

“The rules are very clear on coordination: you can’t do it, we don’t do it, and we stay as far away as we can,” says McCarthy, who advised and made ads for Romney’s 2008 White House run. “But we don’t need to coordinate. We know the Romney team and they know us very well. And we’re in kind of a mind meld of what we think needs to be done. The super PAC typically doesn’t go places where the campaign itself is not making a significant effort … We don’t typically freelance.”</span>

<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"><b>

McCarthy, one of the GOP’s best-paid media strategists,</b> doesn’t apologize for the eye-popping (many would say corrupting) piles of cash—corporate, union, and otherwise—that are passing through his and other super PACs, which were legalized by the January 2010 Supreme Court decision permitting unlimited political spending in Citizens United v. the Federal Election Commission.</span>

<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">

“Obscene amounts of money? That’s just baloney—or, as Speaker Gingrich would say, pious baloney,” McCarthy scoffs. “I know people will say, ‘Well, of course! He makes more money off this.’ But the real reason super PACs exist is because of failed efforts on campaign finance that would limit free speech, limit political speech, and <b>strangle money to campaigns in the interest of incumbent protection</b>. The election laws, such as they are now, are bad efforts at campaign reform that the courts have serially dismembered as violations of free speech.</span>”

Even President Obama, who publicly chastised the black-robed justices who voted for Citizens United and were unhappily sitting a few feet away at his 2010 State of the Union address, will be relying partly on Democratic super PACs for this year’s reelection effort. Indeed, members of Obama’s cabinet and Vice President Biden are expected to help raise money for them.

“At least Republicans aren’t hypocrites about it,” McCarthy says. “We saw what the law allowed and we went and did it. The Democrats whined and complained and abhorred it, and now they’re doing it, too—far more than we’re going to do it.”

<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">

McCarthy has been toiling in Republican politics since the 1970s, when, fresh out of Georgetown University, he worked for the late senator John Heinz of Pennsylvania. For six years in the 1980s, he honed his craft under the <font color="#FF0000">mentorship of Roger Ailes</font>, the party’s premiere media consultant decades before he invented the Fox News Channel. In 1988, after McCarthy left Ailes’s firm, he became positively notorious as the author of the racially divisive Willie Horton commercial—also produced for an ostensibly independent PAC—that helped sink Michael Dukakis’s presidential campaign against the first George Bush. He has thrived ever since, sharpening his aim for the jugular—with Politico dubbing him “the attack ads’ go-to guy.”</span>

McCarthy, once again, is unapologetic.

“Voters have enormous experience with political advertising,” he says, “and despite all the hue and cry about negative ads, voters ultimately make a judgment whether they think the ad is true or the ad is false. And if they think the ad is false, they reject it, and it has no impact, and it will backfire on the candidate or group that is sponsoring it. If they think the ad is true, then it hurts the target of the ad. The stuff we make is immediately market tested, because it’s right on the air, and voters can look at it and make a decision. If the ads come off as mean or wrong, they don’t work.”

Last week the Santorum campaign unveiled an attack ad of its own, titled “Rombo,” featuring an actor portraying Romney brandishing an automatic weapon to fire mud balls at his rival. It received massive free airplay on the cable networks—an obvious effort to inoculate Santorum against the coming Romney onslaught.

Will it be effective?

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; “Despite all the hue and cry about negative ads, voters ultimately make a judgment whether they think the ad is true or the ad is false.”

“Not really,” McCarthy says. “I thought the Mitt lookalike was really good. It looked like Mitt plus 40 pounds. But you’ve got to give them credit for finding a pretty good Mitt lookalike.” Beyond that tepid review, “As a piece of crack, I thought it was OK,” McCarthy says. “I’m not sure how many primary voters actually saw it in Michigan. It was more a spot to exploit the easy targets in the media, and they succeeded. It was clever.”

Although so far the Romney campaign’s ads haven’t quite succeeded at humanizing their hero, McCarthy is at pains to dispel the image of an enormously wealthy “robo-candidate” awkwardly disconnected from ordinary people and their lives. Romney’s most recent gaffes—calling himself “severely conservative” at a gathering of skeptical right-wingers and telling CNN anchor Soledad O’Brien that he isn’t concerned about “the very poor”—are cases in point.

“I’m sure he would phrase that differently,” McCarthy says. “I have the advantage and the problem that I spent a fair amount of time with the governor in 2007 and 2008, so I view him very differently. I view him as a genuinely warm, nice guy who does connect very well, is very funny, and is in it for the right reasons. Does he make misstatements? Sure. Everybody does. Do I think he’s said anything that’s going to come back and be a major factor in how people vote? I don’t think so.”

McCarthy is also receiving his share of unwelcome scrutiny, especially from a recent New Yorker profile that treated him respectfully but accorded much space to the reviled Willie Horton spot from a quarter-century ago. McCarthy decided not to speak to the author, Jane Mayer, who tried repeatedly to secure an interview.

“The piece was exactly what I expected it to be,” says McCarthy, who is planning to publish a detailed response. “I’m in the advocacy business so, like Justice Potter Stewart, I know it when I see it. And the New Yorker piece was advocacy, not journalism, from a writer who’s doing a series of hit pieces on conservatives.”

Mayer, who on Monday won the prestigious George Polk Award for a piece highly critical of the Obama administration for its prosecution of a National Security Agency whistleblower who happens to be a registered Republican, defends her McCarthy profile: “If he doesn’t think it reflected his thinking, all I can say is I tried over and over again to get him to give me one minute of his time. He has only himself to blame.”

The good news, for McCarthy, is that Mayer’s piece resulted in a friendly dialogue with his old employer Ailes, with whom he’s had sometimes tense relations. <b>Ailes was upset that Mayer credited the idea for a famous political commercial to McCarthy instead of him, and McCarthy was happy to support Ailes’s claim.</b>

“Roger’s a genius,” McCarthy says, noting Ailes’s legendary career in politics, television, and even as a producer of off-Broadway plays.

And McCarthy isn’t?

“No,” he says. “And since I am not a genius, far from it, I just work hard and all those usual platitudes about your nose to the grindstone and trying to do the best you can. It’s what you’d find on some inspirational business poster on somebody’s wall, but in my case it happens to be true.”

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Mitt Romney, in his struggle to wrap up the 2012 Republican nomination for the Presidency, has presented himself as an outsider. During an exchange with Newt Gingrich, the former Speaker of the House, at a recent Republican debate, Romney declared that “to get this country out of the mess it’s in” Americans need leaders “from outside Washington, outside K Street.” One television ad by Romney supporters makes the same argument against Rick Santorum, the former Pennsylvania senator, calling him “the ultimate Washington insider” while showing his face in front of an image of the Capitol dome.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Romney, unlike the remaining Republican candidates, has served no time in Washington. Yet he’s relying on a media offensive managed by operatives who have long been at the heart of Washington’s Republican attack machine. One of the leaders of this advertising war is Larry McCarthy, a veteran media consultant best known for creating the racially charged “Willie Horton ad,” which, in 1988, helped sink Michael Dukakis, the Democratic nominee for President.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">McCarthy, who is fifty-nine, <font color="#FF0000">helps direct the pro-Romney group Restore Our Future</font>, one of the hundreds of new Super <small>PAC</small>s—technically independent political-action committees set up by supporters of the candidates—that are dramatically reshaping the Presidential election. <small>PAC</small>s have existed since the nineteen-forties, but for decades an individual donation was limited to five thousand dollars. The power of <small>PAC</small>s increased exponentially in 2010, when the Supreme Court ruled that corporations, unions, and wealthy individuals could spend without limit—and pool their money in <small>PAC</small>s—to influence elections, as long as they didn’t fund candidates directly. Super <small>PAC</small>s have already injected fifty-six million dollars into the 2012 race, most of it going to negative advertising. <span style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Restore Our Future has spent seventeen million dollars—more than any other <small>PAC</small>—and fifteen million of that has gone to producing and airing ads made by McCarthy’s firm, McCarthy Hennings Media. By contrast, Romney’s official campaign has spent only eleven million on ads. The Super <small>PAC</small> is technically fighting a proxy battle on behalf of Romney, but in practice it has become the head warrior.</span></font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The television spot calling Santorum an insider was created not in Boston, where Romney’s campaign is based, but in Washington, in a corporate office building, with a marble-floored lobby, just two blocks from the K Street corridor that Romney disparaged in his exchange with Gingrich. McCarthy has an office on the second floor. With its unpretentious décor, it could be mistaken for a doctor’s waiting room, but McCarthy’s mission is signalled by a framed print on the wall that depicts a look-alike of President George W. Bush tearfully proclaiming, “I can’t help it—I’m such a compassionate conservative!”</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">McCarthy is known for his ability to distill a complicated subject into a simple, potent, and usually negative symbol</span>. In Florida, Restore Our Future spent $8.7 million on ads, most of which targeted Gingrich, hastening the end of his brief front-runner status in the state. It was a replay of Iowa, where, the previous month, Restore Our Future had helped crush Gingrich’s lead by spending three million dollars on negative ads. The theme of the ads, which were made by McCarthy’s firm, was Gingrich’s “baggage.” The cleverest spot employed a visual gag of battered suitcases, plastered with Gingrich bumper stickers, tumbling down an airport luggage carrousel. One by one, the bags popped open. A green suitcase exploded with loose dollar bills—ostensibly ill-gotten gains from his work as a consultant to Freddie Mac. Another disgorged a video of <b>Gingrich looking chummy with Nancy Pelosi, a</b> Democrat who is particularly disliked by conservatives. A female narrator, sounding like a stern mom, listed so many transgressions by Gingrich that the ad became a blur of disqualifying scandal, summed up in the final attack line: “Newt Gingrich—too much baggage!”</font>

<span style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">At least one of the ad’s accusations was demonstrably false. As a closeup of a Chinese flag saturated the screen with red, the narrator claimed that Gingrich and Pelosi had “co-sponsored a bill that gave sixty million dollars a year to a <font color="#FF0000">U.N. program supporting China’s brutal one-child policy.</font>” <b>Politifact, the nonpartisan fact-checking organization, assessed the bill in question, the Global Warming Prevention Act of 1989, and found that it barred any U.S. funds from being used to pay for “the performance of involuntary sterilization or abortion or to coerce any person to accept family planning.” The claim earned Politifact’s lowest rating: Pants on Fire.</b></font></span>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">A few days after the spot began airing across Iowa, a reporter for the Huffington Post noticed that even residents who said they paid little attention to campaign ads often mentioned one prevailing concern about Gingrich: he had too much baggage. Evidently, McCarthy’s message was sticking.<b> Colleagues note that <font color="#FF6666">McCarthy is a shrewd consumer of “O,” or opposition research,</font> on the rival candidates he’s targeting</b>, and that he hones his message using polls, focus groups, micro-targeting data, and “perception analyzers”—meters that evaluate viewers’ split-second reactions to demo tapes.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">For all the effort that goes into calibrating the scripts, McCarthy’s ads often have the crude look of a hastily assembled PowerPoint presentation. They feature hokey graphics—key criticisms are highlighted with neon-yellow stripes—and a heavy-handed use of black-and-white to lend a sinister cast to images. The ads are the political equivalent of a supermarket tabloid, emphasizing the personal and the sensational. But when they hit their mark they are dazzlingly effective.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">In using television as a political weapon, McCarthy is practicing an art that was pioneered by the Democrats. Arguably, no modern ad has matched the overkill of the 1964 “Daisy” ad, created by President Lyndon B. Johnson’s campaign. Footage of a freckled little girl, counting the petals she was plucking off a flower, shifted into a doomsday countdown capped by a billowing mushroom cloud; the insinuation was that if Johnson’s opponent, Barry Goldwater, won he’d trigger World War Three.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Though both parties are outsourcing their dirty work to Super <small>PAC</small>s this year, the main <small>PAC</small> supporting President Barack Obama, Priorities U.S.A. Action, has raised less than half the money collected by Restore Our Future. Republicans have led the charge to let corporations and the wealthy spend unlimited amounts to influence elections, and Democrats—who rely more on smaller donations—have fitfully opposed them. Conflicted by their need to stay financially competitive, they have swung between denouncing Big Money’s influence on elections and courting their own rich patrons.<b> Obama condemned the Supreme Court’s 2010 decision as “a major victory for big oil, Wall Street banks, health-insurance companies, and the other powerful interests</b> that marshal their power every day in Washington to drown out the voices of everyday Americans”; in his 2010 State of the Union address, he criticized the decision while the Justices were sitting in the front row. Unsurprisingly, liberal donors haven’t been racing to write big checks to Super <small>PAC</small>s.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">This is hardly to say that the Democrats have clean hands. One Priorities U.S.A. Action ad, “Mitt Romney’s America,” earned a “four Pinocchios” rating from the Washington <i>Post</i>. It claimed, dubiously, that Romney would leave “Medicare dismantled” and “Social Security privatized.” And critics say that a recent ad made by the Democratic National Committee took an offhand remark by Romney—“I like being able to fire people”—out of context. “Yes, he said it, but he was talking about firing insurance companies that don’t do a good job,” Mike Murphy, a Republican media consultant, says. He calls such deliberately misleading ads “pejoratively true.” Murphy, who used to be known as Murphy the Mudslinger, and once had vanity license plates that read “<small>GO NEG,</small>” says that pundits are always lamenting that the current election cycle is the meanest ever. But this time, because of the proliferation of Super <small>PAC</small>s, they might be right. “I’ve been doing this since the early eighties,” he says. “The standards have dropped lower and lower, as to what’s allowed. There’s less accountability now, because of the outside groups.”</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Though Larry McCarthy is playing a key role in the 2012 race, he is reluctant to discuss it. Repeated phone calls went unanswered, and a hand-delivered request for an interview prompted Brittany Gross, a spokeswoman for Restore Our Future, to call and say, “I’m pretty much all you get. And I have no comment.”</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“He doesn’t crave the limelight,” Cliff Shannon, the chief of staff for Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, of Texas, says. Shannon became office friends with McCarthy in the nineteen-seventies, when McCarthy was just out of Georgetown University, and they were both working as political aides for Senator John Heinz, of Pennsylvania. “You won’t find him on Fox morning news. He’s not in this for fame and fortune—though I’m sure he’s glad he’s made money. It’s about the work.”</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Indeed, McCarthy sees himself as a craftsman. He told an interviewer that what drives him is “what every ad guy is seeking: the Holy Grail of the perfect spot.”</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>McCarthy’s detailed résumé, posted on the Web site of his advertising company, omits his most notorious creation—the Willie Horton ad</b>. Paid for by a political group officially acting separately from the campaign of George H. W. Bush, it was the political equivalent of an improvised explosive device, demolishing the electoral hopes of Dukakis, then the governor of Massachusetts. Its key image was a mug shot of Horton—a scowling black man with a dishevelled Afro. Horton, a convicted murderer, had escaped while on a weekend pass issued by a Massachusetts furlough program.<b> A decade earlier, Dukakis had vetoed a bill that would have forbidden furloughs for murderers</b>. After escaping, Horton raped a white woman and stabbed her fiancé. McCarthy knew that showing Horton’s menacing face would make voters feel viscerally that Dukakis was soft on crime. Critics said that the ad stoked racial fears, presenting a little-known black man as an icon of American violence.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">McCarthy’s ad was condemned at the time, by Democrats and Republicans, for exceeding the boundaries of civility. And it raised unsettling new questions about possibly unlawful coördination between an official campaign and an outside political group. In retrospect, the spot was not an aberration; both in its tone and in its murky origins, it created a blueprint for the future.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">McCarthy has rarely spoken publicly about the ad. But in a sworn deposition, given in 1991 to the Federal Election Commission, he theorized that there were two subjects guaranteed to move voters: the economy and crime. “People, they take crime real seriously,” he explained. He later told a reporter that when he first saw Horton’s mug shot he said to himself, “God, this guy’s ugly.” He added, “This is every suburban mother’s greatest fear.” McCarthy admitted to the reporter that he had used a ploy to get the ad past television-station officials, who, he worried, might regard it as inflammatory. (“The guy looked like an animal,” he said of Horton.) So McCarthy made two versions of the ad. The first, which he submitted for review, lacked the mug shot. Once the ad had been approved, McCarthy, claiming that he was fixing an error, replaced it with a version containing Horton’s photograph.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">According to <span style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"><b>Floyd Brown</b></span>, the <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">conservative operative who hired McCarthy in 1988, the Horton ad “was incredibly effective.” Brown maintains that Dukakis’s lead over George H. W. Bush collapsed after the ad began airing.</span> Tony Fabrizio, a Republican pollster and strategist who also worked on the Horton ad, argues that McCarthy was relatively restrained—there were no photographs of Horton’s victims, for example. And Brown says that the ad became a scapegoat after Dukakis lost. Both men use the word “brilliant” to describe McCarthy. “Larry is not just one of the best ad-makers these days,”<b> Brown says. “He’s one of the best advertising minds this </b><i><b>century</b></i><b>. You go into a studio with Larry, and you’re watching art. It’s beautiful.” He laughed, then added, “From </b><i><b>my</b></i><b> standpoint, it’s beautiful.”</b></font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Dukakis told me that the Horton ad took his record wildly out of context. <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">A Republican predecessor had created th<b>e Massachusetts furlough program, he said, and forty-four states had similar programs at the time, including California; Ronald Reagan had instituted it there when he was governor</b>. Two California parolees committed murders while furloughed. Dukakis said that he blamed himself for not responding more forcefully: “I made a big, big mistake by not attacking back.”</span></font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">He then criticized Romney for allowing his campaign to be associated with McCarthy: “Romney’s really kind of a sad case. The Romney we saw running against Ted Kennedy”—for the Senate, in 1994—“seemed to be another kind of guy, but what’s happened to him is really pretty pathetic. He’s turned into someone who will say and do anything for votes.”</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Romney has declined to criticize the tactics of McCarthy’s Super <small>PAC</small>. In an appearance on Fox News, he said, “I’m sure I can go out and say, ‘Hey, please don’t do anything negative.’ But, you know, this is politics, and if you can’t stand the heat in this little kitchen, wait until the Obamas’ Hell’s Kitchen turns up the heat.” Romney, who would not comment for this article, has also maintained that he has no control over Restore Our Future. Although he stopped by a fund-raiser for the group last summer, to thank donors, he said recently, on “Morning Joe,” “I’m not allowed to communicate with Super <small>PAC</small>s in any way, shape, or form. . . . If we coördinate in any way whatsoever, we go to the big house.”</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Dukakis, for one, is not buying it: “For him to say that his Super <small>PAC</small> is independent is a joke. If you believe that, you believe in tooth fairies.”</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The Willie Horton controversy raised issues more enduring than those surrounding the ad’s shock value. Its real legacy may be the proof it provided that outside political groups can operate with near-impunity in America, if they are crafty enough.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">McCarthy made the Horton ad for an obscure group called Americans for Bush—<b>Ambush</b>, for short. It was an offshoot of another organization, the National Security Political Action Committee, or <small>NSPAC</small></span>. McCarthy had been working on Bob Dole’s Presidential campaign, and when it failed he needed a job. He has said that he signed on with <small>NSPAC</small> for one reason: “Cash.”</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The Bush campaign disowned the Horton ad, and claimed to have no responsibility for it. Yet the campaign soon came out with its own ad attacking the Massachusetts furlough program. Fabrizio said of the Bush campaign, “I’m sure they secretly loved us.” Indeed,<span style=" background-color: #FFF200;"> Roger Ailes—the chairman and C.E.O. of Fox News, who was then Bush’s media consultant—joked about creating a version of the Horton ad for Bush’s official campaign, saying, “The only question is whether we show Willie Horton with a knife in his hand, or without.”</span></font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The Democrats asked the F.E.C. to investigate whether <small>NSPAC</small> had colluded with Bush’s official campaign. If so, the outside ads would be considered illegal undeclared campaign contributions. <b>In 1991, the F.E.C. issued a preliminary finding: there was “reason to believe” that Bush-Quayle ’88 and <small>NSPAC </small>had violated the law, because the two groups “were not independent” of each other.</b></font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span style=" color: #000000;"><span style=" background-color: #FFF200;">Lawrence Noble, the F.E.C. general counsel who oversaw the inquiry, wanted to investigate further. “There were a lot of discrepancies in the testimony,” he told me. But the F.E.C., which had three Democratic commissioners and three Republicans, was deadlocked along party lines, and so Noble dropped the matter. One of the Republicans who <b>voted against more digging was </b></span></span><b><span style=" background-color: #FFF200;"><span style=" color: #ED1C24;">Thomas Josefiak, </span></span><span style=" color: #000000;"><span style=" background-color: #FFF200;">who is now a legal adviser to a Super </span></span><small><span><span style=" color: #000000;"><span style=" background-color: #FFF200;">PAC</span></span></span></small></b><span><span style=" color: #000000;"><span style=" background-color: #FFF200;"><b> called American Crossroads,</b> which was founded by, among others, the <b>Republican operative Karl Rove</b>. The group, along with a sister organization, has already raised fifty-one million dollars for the 2012 campaign.</span></span></span></font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The F.E.C.’s limited investigation found that Ailes “may have implicitly communicated to Mr. McCarthy” about “developing and airing negative spots.” McCarthy and Ailes spoke at least twice during the 1988 campaign. For six years during the eighties, McCarthy had worked under Ailes, as a senior vice-president of his consulting company. Cynical, profane, funny, and smart, Ailes had been advising Republicans on media strategy for years, and he became McCarthy’s mentor. In late 1987, McCarthy stopped working for Ailes, and several months later he was hired by <small>NSPAC</small> to make the Horton ad. Both men have repeatedly insisted that they never discussed ideas in any illegal way, and there is no evidence to the contrary.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">However, information that surfaced in 2008 clouds the picture. <span style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"><b>Roger Stone,</b> the flamboyant Republican operative, asserts that he was personally told that <small>NSPAC</small> and the Bush campaign were allied on the Horton ad.</span> His allegation implicates neither McCarthy nor Ailes but, rather, their bosses. During the 1988 Presidential campaign, Stone says, he was summoned to the Bush campaign’s headquarters by its director, Lee Atwater. As Stone first recounted in “Boogie Man,” a documentary film about Atwater, and repeated to me, Atwater “locked the office door and he popped the famous Willie Horton spot onto a television. He said, ‘I got a couple boys gonna put a couple million dollars up for this independent.’ And I said, ‘That’s a huge mistake. You and George Bush will wear that to your grave. It’s a racist ad! You’re already winning this issue! It’s working for you! You’re stepping over a line and you’re gonna regret it.’ And he said, ‘Y’all a pussy.’ ”</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Before Atwater died, of brain cancer, in 1991, he expressed regret over the “naked cruelty” he had shown to Dukakis in making “Willie Horton his running mate.” McCarthy, however, has defended the ad. In 1994, as a guest on an ABC talk show, he objected to the correspondent Sam Donaldson’s description of it.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“I take exception with the word ‘horrendous,’ ” McCarthy said.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“You thought that was fair?” Donaldson said.</font>

<span style=" background-color: #FFF200;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“I thought it was fair,” McCarthy said.</font></span>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">McCarthy may be known for his skill at political warfare, but he’s far less combative in person. Wes Pippert, a former United Press International reporter, joined<b> McCarthy in the spring of 1987 as a visiting fellow at Harvard’s Institute of Politics. </b>He recalls that McCarthy “was the nicest guy in the group. He seemed to be a free and easy spirit.” McCarthy’s ambition while at Harvard was to write a detective novel, which he evidently started but never finished.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Pippert, who now directs the University of Missouri’s journalism program in Washington, recalled a seminar in which the journalist Jonathan Schell challenged McCarthy about the accuracy of a television <b>ad that he’d made for Senator Mitch McConnell, of Kentucky. In 1984, </b>McConnell, who is now the Republican Minority Leader in the Senate, and an aggressive opponent of restrictions on campaign spending, had narrowly defeated the Democratic incumbent, Walter (Dee) Huddleston; McCarthy had created for McConnell a series of memorable ads featuring a pack of bloodhounds trying to track down Huddleston, because he’d ostensibly missed so many Senate votes. McCarthy himself appeared in one ad, enjoying an Alfred Hitchcock-like cameo. The ad, which won a national advertising award, helped make McCarthy a star. He told the Washington <i>Post</i> proudly, “It was like tossing a match on a pool of gasoline.”</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">During the seminar, Schell argued that the ad was based on a faulty premise, because Huddleston, who had an attendance record of ninety-four per cent, missed no more votes than many other senators. McCarthy said, “It was a <i>great</i> ad!” Pippert recalled. “He kept replying that way. He just dismissed the idea that the facts were of any importance</span>. I thought it was very revealing of Larry’s approach to advertising. It was great, in his view, because it defeated Dee Huddleston.” Pippert said that there was a “profound contradiction” between McCarthy’s geniality and his disregard for the truth. “It shows that a person’s affability is quite independent of his moral views,” he said.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Steve McMahon, a Democratic media consultant, has a similar view of McCarthy. “He’s a really, really nice guy who makes really, really nasty ads,” McMahon says. Despite their political differences, McCarthy kindly offered to help him get his daughter into the exclusive Catholic private school that his own daughters attended.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Tony Fabrizio, who this year worked on Rick Perry’s campaign, describes McCarthy as a “committed Republican,” not an ideologue: “I can’t say I’ve ever had a conversation with him about overthrowing the government and taking over the world. But he likes doing this stuff. It can be very addictive if you have a certain type of personality. It’s an addiction to winning, to succeeding, to making things happen—it’s a kind of high.”</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Carter Eskew, a Democratic media consultant who gave up political work a few years ago in favor of working with corporations, agrees that “it takes an incredible fear of losing” to be good at making political ads. He says, “You have to think that, literally, you’ll die if you lose.” Although Eskew ran his share of attack ads, he says that over time he “began to think there were worse things than losing. What’s so bad about losing? Sometimes it’s worth it, to do the right thing. That’s why I got out.”</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">John Roberts, a former Reagan aide who made ads with McCarthy at the <font color="#FF6666">Republican Congressional Campaign Committee</font>, in the early nineties, says, “He was able to produce ads that took your breath away. They went right for the jugular. But he was cynical about the process, and about politicians. He did not see them as paragons of virtue. He saw them as twisted people.” Roberts suspects that McCarthy—who, he says, “didn’t grow up in a country-club-type family”—enjoyed taking down people he regarded as liberal élitists. “For him, it’s like fun and games, being able to knock the legs out from the other guy. It’s almost like vaudeville: ‘Hey, look at that, the high and mighty took a tumble!’ ”</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">McCarthy was born in Brooklyn and grew up in Rockville, Maryland, a suburb of Washington. The family lived on a cul-de-sac developed in the nineteen-fifties. His father was a government lawyer, specializing in immigration issues, and his mother was a homemaker. McCarthy, who has two older sisters, attended Gonzaga, a Jesuit high school. His sister Mary told me, “A Jesuit education gives you the ability to think critically and express yourself with precision,” adding, “Larry had a way with words.” <b>He could also be sly: at Georgetown, for an assignment on satire, he turned in ten blank pages, the last of which said, “The End.”</b></font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The Democratic pollster Peter Hart, who has known McCarthy for thirty-five years and has occasionally worked with him on non-political projects, says, “He’s not ashamed or embarrassed. His attitude is, like, ‘You won’t believe who I banged last night.’ ” Hart believes that McCarthy “enjoys the notoriety. He’s like a really good writer who likes to write trash. Why do they do it? Because it sells, and it makes a lot of money.”</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">According to one media consultant, the best in the business earn about<b> four million dollars a year,</b> which is more than most lobbyists and law partners make. Typically, seventy per cent of every political dollar raised in a Presidential campaign is spent on “media buys.” Campaign consultants don’t disclose their finances, but they typically charge clients seven per cent of a project’s media budget, in addition to taking consulting and production fees. Pollsters, by comparison, get only two per cent of the media budget, and campaign managers just one.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">McCarthy has a relatively modest life style, given his success. He lives in Bethesda, Maryland, in a pleasant white Colonial with an American flag out front, and enjoys watching his daughters’ sports teams and taking walks with his two Bernese mountain dogs. Tall and thin, he wears glasses and a baseball cap, and has a patchy gray beard; he has described himself as Steven Spielberg’s doppelgänger. He reads the sports pages before he gets to the news, and, when pressed by the Hotline to describe his “happy place,” he answered, “Reliving once again Steve McQueen’s motorcycle jumps over the Nazis’ barbed-wire fence in ‘The Great Escape.’ ”</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">This year is likely to be McCarthy’s most profitable yet. It is predicted that total spending on television advertising in the Presidential race will reach two billion dollars.</span> Both sides are well armed; though the Democrats trail the Republicans in Super <small>PAC</small> funds, Obama’s official campaign currently has twice as much money as Romney’s. Walter Shapiro recently argued in <i>Washington Monthly</i> that “the real crisis facing American politics” is not just the degradation of debate caused by such political air wars; it is “what elected officials have to do to raise the money to pay for those ads.” He concluded, “Gradually falling under the sway of big-time campaign donors is inevitable.”</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">In 1974, after the Watergate scandal, campaign-finance laws were dramatically reformed. In an attempt to curb corruption, Congress set contribution limits and established the public financing of Presidential campaigns. That year, Republicans were trounced. Operatives struggled to find ways around the new rules. In 1976, they partly succeeded, when the Supreme Court, judging a case brought by a Republican Senate candidate, struck down limits on “independent expenditures” by groups. Republicans seized the opportunity, creating the <font color="#FF0000">National Conservative Political Action Committee</font>, which pooled its supporters’ money to make its own negative political ads. This established the model for today’s efforts to influence elections with outside money. In 1980, <small>NCPAC</small> helped defeat five liberal Democrats in the Senate. Craig Shirley, a historian and a longtime conservative operative who worked with <small>NCPAC</small>, says, “We were the forerunners.”</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Between 1974 and 1986, the number of <small>PAC</small>s nearly quadrupled, to some four thousand. Federal law capped individual contributions to <small>PAC</small>s at five thousand dollars, and donors had to disclose their identities, but, as the Willie Horton ad showed, by pooling resources donors could create shadow campaigns. During this period, campaign ads, which had been an offshoot of documentary filmmaking, evolved from an art into an increasingly dark science, driven by polls and opposition research.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Although the Willie Horton ad helped elect George H. W. Bush, the reputations of Ailes and McCarthy suffered from their association with it. In 1989, as Kerwin Swint recounts in his biography of Ailes, “Dark Genius,” the opponent of an Ailes client made a negative ad calling him a “master of the slick and sleazy.” Ailes threatened to sue, insisting, “I am not Attila the Hun!” Ailes eventually left the campaign business for television news, announcing that he was “tired of it.”</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"><b>But McCarthy kept at it. In 1991, he reunited with Floyd Brown, creating an ad promoting Clarence Thomas’s </b>confirmation to the Supreme Court.</span> Financed by yet another <small>PAC</small>, the Conservative Victory Committee, it was called “Who Will Judge the Judge?” Crossing a rare line for a Senate confirmation battle, it attacked Thomas’s opponents on the Senate Judiciary Committee in highly personal terms.<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"> It reminded viewers that <b>Edward M. Kennedy “</b>was suspended from Harvard for cheating, left the scene of an accident at Chappaquiddick where Mary Jo Kopechne died,” and had recently partied in Palm Beach with a nephew who was soon afterward charged with rape. The ad claimed that the committee’s chairman at the time,<b> Joe Biden,</b> had been “found guilty of plagiarism during his Presidential campaign.” (There were no such legal charges.) President George H. W. Bush denounced the ad as “offensive” and “totally counterproductive,” and called on the group to take it off the air.</span> Some of Thomas’s own allies, such as the social conservative Gary Bauer, condemned it. Brown was unperturbed: “One of the great things about an independent campaign is we aren’t responsive to the critics. I could care less.”</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">In 1993, McCarthy’s past caught up with him. Twenty-four hours after he joined the<b> New Jersey gubernatorial campaign of Christine Todd Whitman</b>, he was forced to resign; African-American groups had fiercely objected to the hiring of the man behind the Willie Horton ad. Whitman later wrote, “The ad was viewed, with reason, as being either visual shorthand to communicate solidarity with racists, or at least being so insensitive, it amounted to racism.”</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">McCarthy apparently decided to make the most of his bad-boy image. Geoff Garin, a Democratic pollster and an adviser to a pro-Obama Super <small>PAC</small>, worked with McCarthy on the 1976 Heinz campaign. McCarthy has cited Garin as one of the Democratic consultants he admires. Garin said of the Horton ad, “Fairly or unfairly, Larry was vilified. My guess is after that there was no putting the genie back in the bottle, so he decided to use that genie to his advantage.” Since then, he says, McCarthy has been a<span style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"> “serial offender,” and has played “a pretty big part in lowering the bar on what is acceptable in American politics.”</span></font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">In 2004, McCarthy believed that he had nearly achieved his ambition—the “perfect spot”—with an ad for George W. Bush, called “Ashley’s Story.” Created for another independent group, the Progress for America Voter Fund, it showed Bush embracing a teen-age girl whose mother had been killed on September 11, 2001, in Al Qaeda’s attack on the World Trade Center. The girl, Ashley, looked into the camera and said of Bush, “He’s the most powerful man in the world, and all he wants to do is make sure I’m safe.” The group bought more than fourteen million dollars’ worth of airtime for the ad, much of it in the key swing state of Ohio, where Ashley lived; it was the biggest single ad buy of the 2004 Presidential campaign. Two backers, both California business executives, contributed five million dollars apiece. Bob Shrum, a Democratic operative, was the principal strategist for Bush’s opponent, Senator John Kerry, and he blames the ad for the Democrats’ defeat. “The ad was pretty close to decisive in Ohio,” Shrum said. “And Ohio was the whole thing.”</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">McCarthy’s defenders argue that the Ashley ad proves that he can do powerful positive spots. Alex Castellanos, a Republican media consultant, says, “He’s the Deion Sanders of politics. He can play offense or defense.” Shrum, however, argues that the Ashley ad was “all about fear. The message was: ‘My mother was killed.’ ” He adds, “Was it skillfully made? Yes. But the exploitation of 9/11 was reprehensible.”</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">In 2005, L. Patrick Devlin, a professor emeritus of communication studies at the University of Rhode Island, delivered a conference paper asserting that the Bush campaign and Progress for America might have unlawfully coördinated their advertising plan. Devlin revealed that, after the 2004 campaign, he taped an interview with Mark McKinnon, Bush’s media director. McKinnon confided that he had planned to tell Ashley’s story in a film that he had made for the Republican Convention, at the end of the summer. But the Ashley material was dropped from the film when, he said, he “got a call from a lawyer who said it might not be a good idea . . . because that may have complicated what they want to do.” Progress for America aired the Ashley ad in the fall, when it had maximum impact. (McKinnon says that he never spoke with McCarthy or others associated with the ad, and that legal counsel told him he behaved properly.)</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The F.E.C. eventually fined both Democratic and Republican groups for a hundred and fifty million dollars’ worth of illegal outside spending in the 2004 Presidential election. Republicans and campaign-finance watchdogs decried the financier George Soros’s record-breaking twenty-three-million-dollar donation to Democratic campaign groups, some of which were later fined for violating campaign laws. And Democrats denounced the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, which scurrilously questioned Kerry’s war record. “It was independent? Ha-ha,” Shrum says. “It gave Bush what I call ‘implausible deniability.’ ”</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"><font color="#FF0000">When Samuel Alito</font> replaced Sandra Day O’Connor on the Supreme Court, in 2006, the balance started shifting in favor of deregulating political spending. The next year, the Court sanctioned unlimited, secret spending on “issues” ads, as long as they didn’t directly endorse or oppose a candidate, and as long as the primary purpose of the group making them was “educational” rather than political. Once the Court opened a path for unlimited anonymous money, it flooded in.</font>

<b><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Conservatives cast their opposition to campaign-finance restrictions as a defense of free speech, but one of the cause’s biggest champions, Senator McConnell, occasionally revealed a partisan motive. McConnell once opened a college seminar by writing on the blackboard the three ingredients that he felt were necessary to build a political party: “Money, money, and money.” In a Senate debate on proposed campaign-finance restrictions, <span style=" background-color: #FFF200;">McConnell reportedly told colleagues, “If we stop this thing, we can control the institution for the next twenty years.”</span> In the end, <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">McConnell decided to wage his battle through the courts. He and a conservative lawyer, James Bopp, Jr., founded the James Madison Center for Free Speech, which mounted a legal challenge on behalf of Citizens United—yet another outside spending group created by McCarthy’s partner on the Willie Horton ad, Floyd Brown.</span></font></b>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The case reached the Supreme Court, and its ruling, issued in January, 2010, rolled back a century of legislation limiting corporate money in federal elections. Citizens United argued, successfully, that political spending was a form of free speech protected by the First Amendment. In the past, the Court had balanced the free-speech argument against the need to protect American democracy from corruption. In Citizens United, a 5–4 decision, the Court essentially ruled that elections wouldn’t be corrupted by independent expenditures made by outside groups. They could spend all the money they wanted, as long as the contributions weren’t made directly to the candidates’ campaigns.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Lawrence Lessig, the author of a new book on campaign finance, “Republic, Lost,” argues that the Court misunderstood the nature of corruption. A greater peril than obvious, quid-pro-quo bribes is posed by systemic corruption, he says, in which voters regard the whole system as rigged. And the Court, by eliminating almost all the curbs on outside money in elections, has given wealthy donors disproportionate political power, largely in the form of Super <small>PAC</small>s and nonprofit advocacy groups. Fred Wertheimer, the founder of Democracy 21, a liberal organization that wants stricter spending rules, calls the candidate Super <small>PAC</small>s “frauds.” He says, “Everyone understands they’re functioning as arms of the candidate’s campaign. Their whole purpose is to circumvent the contribution limits—so we end up with a system of legalized bribery.”</font>

<span style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">In March, 2010, two months after the Citizens United ruling, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals legalized unlimited donations to partisan <small>PAC</small>s.<b> The case, known as SpeechNow, was brought by David Keating, the executive director of the Club for Growth, an anti-tax group.</b></font></span>

<b><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">That year, Politico named <span style=" color: #ED1C24;">Larry McCarthy the “Attack Ads’ Go-To Guy,”</span> noting that he was one of the largest beneficiaries of the spending spree resulting from the campaign-finance rulings. F.E.C. records for the fall of <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">2010 show that four organizations whose funders are secret—the American Future Fund, Americans for Job Security, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and the Rove-founded group Crossroads G.P.S.—together spent nearly seventy million dollars on campaign ads.<span style=" color: #ED1C24;"> Of that sum, eighteen million was spent on commissioning, then airing, ads from McCarthy’s firm.</span></span></font></b>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>McCarthy became the media consultant to the American Future Fund, a conservative Iowa-based organization founded in 2007</b>. Registering with the I.R.S. as a nonprofit “issues” group, it spent $7.8 million on ads in 2010; all were made by McCarthy’s firm, and most attacked Democrats. Names of donors have not been made public, although Bruce Rastetter, a prominent Iowa Republican, and the founder of one of the country’s largest<b> ethanol</b> companies, has acknowledged that he was involved. Groups like the American Future Fund “operate in the shadows,” the Sacramento <i>Bee</i> wrote. “The power behind them is rarely apparent.”</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">In the summer of 2010, the American Future Fund aired an ad, created by McCarthy, that Geoff Garin describes as perhaps <span style=" background-color: #FFF200;">“the most egregious” of the year. The ad accused Representative Bruce Braley, an Iowa Democrat and a lawyer, of supporting a proposed Islamic community center in lower Manhattan, which it called a “mosque at Ground Zero.” </span>As footage of the destroyed World Trade Center rolled, a narrator said, “For centuries, Muslims built mosques where they won military victories.” Now a mosque celebrating 9/11 was to be built on the very spot “where Islamic terrorists killed three thousand Americans”—it was, the narrator suggested, as if the Japanese were to build a triumphal monument at Pearl Harbor. The ad then accused Braley of supporting the mosque.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">In fact, Braley had taken no position on the issue until an unidentified cameraman came up to him at the Iowa State Fair and asked him about it. He said that he regarded the matter as a local zoning issue for New Yorkers to decide. In general, he said, he valued America’s tradition of religious diversity. Soon afterward, he told me, the attack ad “dropped on me like the house in ‘The Wizard of Oz.’ ” Braley, who won his seat by a margin of thirty per cent in 2008, barely held on in 2010. The American Future Fund’s effort against Braley was the most expensive campaign that year by an independent group.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Braley said of McCarthy, “He doesn’t have the courage to put his own name on a ballot and run for office, or even to put his own name on his ads. Instead, he’d rather make tons of money by anonymously demonizing people. He’s profiting from Citizens United in the lowest way.” He went on, “The corporations are laughing all the way to the bank. It’s a good investment for them. And the consultants are making tons of money. They’re the winners. The losers are the American people, and the truth.”</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Representative <font color="#FF0000">Bob Etheridge, </font>a North Carolina Democrat, fared worse. He was <b>targeted by another McCarthy client<span style=" background-color: #FFF200;">, Americans for Job Security,</span></b> a group that was founded, in 1997, with a million-dollar donation from the American Insurance Association. Public Citizen, the liberal reform group, filed a complaint with the F.E.C., calling it “a sham front group that would be better called Corporations Influencing Elections.” <span id="correctionasterisk">The F.E.C., deadlocked, took no action, but in Alaska state regulators forced the group to pay a twenty-thousand-dollar fine for <b>operating as a corporate front that had “no purpose other than to cover various money trails.”*</b></span></font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">In the summer of 2010, Etheridge, like Braley, found himself the victim of a video ambush. He was walking on Capitol Hill when two young men in suits approached him. One thrust a camera in his face and the other, holding a microphone, asked him whether he supported the “Obama agenda.” Taken aback, Etheridge demanded, “Who are you?” As Etheridge asked the question five times without getting an answer, he pushed the camera away and gripped his inquisitor.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Finally, the interviewer stammered, “I’m just a student, sir.”</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“From?” Etheridge asked.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“The streets,” the interviewer answered.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Within days, a video of the confrontation, edited to make Etheridge seem unhinged, was posted on <span style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Andrew <b><u>Breitbart’</u></b>s conservative Web site, Big Government, under the headline “<small>CONGRESSMAN ATTACKS STUDENT</small>.” </span>It went viral.<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"> Soon afterward, McCarthy inserted the video into an ad, called “Who Are You?</span>,” in which people purporting to be from Etheridge’s district answered, “We’re your constituents,” and then <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">accused Etheridge—inaccurately—of wanting to cut Medicare</span>. It’s unclear who paid for the ad. Americans for Job Security avoids disclosing its funders by registering as a nonprofit trade association devoted to promoting “pro-paycheck” issues. It calls its revenue “membership dues,” and claims not to spend money on influencing elections. But, according to WRAL-TV news, in Raleigh, among the “pro-paycheck” projects its members paid for in 2010 was a three-hundred-and-sixty-thousand-dollar ad buy against Etheridge.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Etheridge narrowly lost the 2010 election to a nurse running with the support of Sarah Palin. The next day, the National Republican Congressional Committee, which had previously denied a role, acknowledged that it was behind the ambush video. It’s unclear how the video made its way into McCarthy’s attack ad, but the committee is one of his clients.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“They wanted to deceive people,” Etheridge says. “I have no idea who was behind it. You don’t know who’s doing it. There’s no name and no face.” He argues, “It really undermines people’s faith in democracy. That’s what’s sad. Everyone pays a price for the big, unregulated, undocumented money.”</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Romney’s first Presidential campaign, in 2008, brought together several of the people involved in these questionable groups and tactics. That year, McCarthy was a member of the media team for the official campaign. <span style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"><b>Carl Forti, who was Romney’s national political director at the time, is now one of McCarthy’s co-directors at Restore Our Future. Forti is also the political director of American Crossroads. And he is the co-founder of the Black Rock Group, a company that advises major donors on strategy.</b> <b>His partner in Black Rock, Michael Dubke, founded Americans for Job Security,</b> the organization that hired McCarthy to make the Etheridge attack ad,</span> among others. The Black Rock Group, Americans for Job Security, and a company called Crossroads Media, which makes ad buys for outside donors and groups, share a suite in a luxurious office complex in Alexandria, Virginia.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">In 2008, McCarthy and the other members of Romney’s media team created an attack ad against Mike <b>Huckabee</b>, accusing him of granting parole to a criminal who then raped and murdered a young woman. The ad team interviewed the victim’s mother, and got her to tell her horrifying story on camera. Wes Enos, who was Huckabee’s Iowa political director, says, “They tried to turn it into the Willie <span style=" color: #ED1C24;">Horton </span>ad.” Ultimately, <b>Romney, who would have had to say that he had “approved this message,” decided against airing it.</b></font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Brad Todd, a consultant who worked on the Romney media team in 2008, says that the group was united in its support for the ad. But Romney, he said, “didn’t feel it was the closing statement he wanted to make” in Iowa.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">This time, Romney doesn’t need to put his name on McCarthy’s ads. The Super <small>PAC</small>s are free to operate as designated hitters. Most experts expect that the unusually nasty Republican primary clashes this year are warmups for the general election.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“It’s not just tougher out there,” Hart, the Democratic pollster, says. “It’s become a situation where the contest is how much you can destroy the system, rather than how much you can make it work. It makes no difference if you have a ‘D’ or an ‘R’ after your name. There’s no sense that this is about democracy, and after the election you have to work together, and knit the country together. The people in the game now just think to the first Tuesday in November, and not a day beyond it.”</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Hart contends, “2012 is worse than 1972 for democracy. That was the height of Watergate, when people were collecting thousands of dollars in black bags. At least, at that stage, it was on behalf of a candidate who had to advertise in his own name. Now you can hide behind Super <small>PAC</small>s that have no future responsibility to govern.” Hart says of McCarthy’s behind-the-scenes role, “If you want an assassination, you hire one of the best marksmen in history.”</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>Floyd Brown, the Republican operative, agrees. McCarthy “is a wonderful secret weapon,</b>” he says. “And I’m glad Romney’s got him.” <span class="dingbat">♦</span></font>

<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The explosion of <a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1010/43441.html">spending by Republican-allied outside groups</a> has made the 2010 midterms a great time to be Larry McCarthy, the GOP’s leading practitioner of the art of the attack ad.

McCarthy, who made his name as the maker of arguably the most devastating negative advertisement in modern history, the 1988 Willie Horton ad that helped defeat Michael Dukakis, has emerged as the go-to ad maker for the independent groups that have flooded the airwaves with tens of million dollars of ads <a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1010/43560.html">targeting Democrats</a>.

“The marketplace picks winners and losers and right now the political marketplace is picking Larry McCarthy as a winner,” said Craig Shirley, a conservative public relations consultant who worked with McCarthy on the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Io9KMSSEZ0Y">Horton ad</a>, which was widely criticized for its racial overtones.

A majority of the $1.5 million in political business done this year by McCarthy’s boutique advertising firm, McCarthy Marcus Hennings, has come from top-spending outside groups, including the<b><font color="#FF0000"> U.S. Chamber of Commerce, American Future Fund, Americans for Job Security, and American Crossroads and Crossroads Grassroots Policy Strategies. </font>And they know what they’re getting.</b>

“Anybody associated with the Willie Horton ad who’s still out there making ads has to be considered in a class by themselves,” said Michael Franz, an associate professor at Bowdoin College who studies political ads.

McCarthy’s ads <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NY88S-k74y0">often echo</a> Republican talking points linking Democratic congressional candidates to President Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, and, according to nonpartisan fact-checkers, they sometimes play fast and loose with the truth.

But McCarthy’s trademark is his ability to effectively weave in <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unYzX_quvbc">appeals to fear or anger</a>&nbsp;— sometimes with a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nrz06XZH5RE">humorous wink</a>, other times with the <a href="http://california.uschamber.com/">sledgehammer</a> he deployed in the Horton ads.

“What would it feel like if someone broke into your home, or stole your credit card or ripped off your car?” intones the narrator in an Americans for Job Security ad as a shadowy ski-masked figure with a flashlight smashes a window and enters a dark home. The spot, versions of which are running against at least seven Democratic congressional candidates, including Rep. Zack Space of Ohio, continues, “Would you be upset? Then what about what’s happening in Washington?

“Zack Space voted for Nancy Pelosi's budgets and debt, for job-killing energy taxes, and for her wasteful stimulus. And we still lost more than 2.5 million jobs. With Pelosi and Space's agenda, it can feel like you're getting robbed,” concludes the ad, which Politifact.com rated “half true.”</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">An ad McCarthy cut for the American Future Fund features images of the smoldering World Trade Center ruins in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and equates the plan to build an Islamic Center and mosque near the site to “the Japanese building at Pearl Harbor.”</span>

The ad targets Iowa Democratic Rep. Bruce Braley, asserting he “supports building a mosque at ground zero.”

There’s no record of Braley supporting the mosque, and his campaign blasted the ad, <a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0910/42293.html">obliquely referencing</a> the irony that, even though the group behind the ad doesn’t disclose its donors, the ad nonetheless alleges that the imam behind the mosque plan “is raising millions overseas from secret donors.”

“Larry’s not interested in winning awards for making pretty commercials,” said Shirley, who remains close to McCarthy. “A lot of ad makers on both sides want to satisfy their own demo reel instead of the needs of the organization or client. Larry’s not one of them,” Shirley said. “He understands the political process is about moving numbers and if that means taking apart your opponent, then that’s what you have to do.”

But McCarthy, in a series of e-mails with POLITICO, <b>brushed off concerns raised by fact-checkers (who he said have “a Democratic slant” but little impact on voters)</b>, and suggested the press pays too much attention to negative ads in general and his in particular, because “reporters like covering ads instead of issues.”

He pointed out that his firm also has worked for non-campaign clients (the <a href="http://www.mmhdc.com/Clients/default.aspx">roster</a> includes Verizon, Amtrak&nbsp;— and even the <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Pew Center on Global Climate Change, which supports a proposal to limit and create a market for carbon emissions that has encountered virtually <a href="http://www.mmhdc.com/Clients/default.aspx">unanimous opposition</a> from Republicans in Congress).</span>

And, according to McCarthy, 2010 has not seen a higher percentage of negative ads than past elections.

“Don’t think the ratios of negative to positive, or the overall tone of political ads have changed as long as I’ve been in the business,” said McCarthy, 58, who got his start in politics in the late 1960s as a 17-year-old working in the mailroom of the late Sen. Jacob Javits, a liberal New York Republican. “If your mix of ads gets too negative, your own poll numbers usually suffer more than your opponent's.”

McCarthy said, “Our positives are just as good as our negatives,” and gave as an example a celebrated 2004 ad featuring a young Ohio woman named Ashley Faulkner whose mother died in the 2001 terrorist attacks recounting how then-President George W. Bush comforted her during a campaign visit to Lebanon, Ohio.

Progress for America Voter Fund, an outside group funded by many of the same mega-donors now contributing to American Crossroads, spent $16 million airing “Ashley’s Story” in 10 states, and Bob Shrum, a top consultant to Bush’s Democratic rival John Kerry <a href="http://media.www.ramcigar.com/media/storage/paper366/news/2005/11/30/News/Uri-Professor.Accuses.Bush.Campaign.And.Pfa.Of.illegal.Coordination-1116226-page2.shtml">said it had a major impact</a>.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“’Ashley’ was real, was human, people could relate to it,” he said, adding the ad “probably cost us the presidency.”

But Franz, who wrote the 2008 book “Choices and Changes: Interest Groups in the Electoral Process” and co-directs the Wesleyan Media Project, which tracks political ads, said “Ashley” still managed to incorporate McCarthy’s trademark edge, through her father’s recollection that his wife “was murdered by terrorists on Sept. 11.”

“The Ashley ad is not the typical fluff piece where you’re walking down the street with constituents who are listening to your wisdom,” he said. “It still invokes the scariest event on the homeland in many, many years, so there’s a fear message embedded in it subtly.”</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">McCarthy is better known “for the biting attack&nbsp;— the kinds that are straight in your face, either using fear messaging or angering messaging,” Franz said, adding that the surge of negative ads by conservative outside groups has enabled Republican candidates to benefit while arguing “my hands are clean from these vicious attacks.”

Meanwhile, the Wesleyan Media Project this week <a href="http://election-ad.research.wesleyan.edu/2010/10/26/negativity-update/">reported</a> that Democratic candidates, who have gotten <a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0910/42521.html">less help from outside groups</a>, are more likely to air negative ads themselves.

But Franz said McCarthy’s outside group ads often are so negative they can risk “boomeranging” and hurting their intended beneficiary.

“Whether you study it in the lab or whether you study it in the real world, there is a tipping point, which we haven’t been able to locate, but it definitely exists and McCarthy is always treading close to that line,” Franz said. “But he’s famous, so he probably gets a little more leeway in terms of how close he hews to that line.”

McCarthy produced the iconic Willie Horton ad for an independent group called the National Security PAC, and it defined his career&nbsp;— mostly, but not always, for the best.

The ad used the story of Horton, a convicted murderer who raped a woman while on furlough from a Massachusetts state prison, to make the case that Dukakis, who was governor at the time, was weaker on crime than his Republican rival, then-Vice President George H. W. Bush.

The ad drew criticism as racially incendiary for featuring a menacing looking photograph of Horton, who is black&nbsp;— an image McCarthy once <a href="http://www.salon.com/news/politics/feature/2000/08/25/horton">described</a> as "every suburban mother's greatest fear."

<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">

At the time of the ad, The New York Times <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/1988/11/03/us/bush-his-disavowed-backers-and-a-very-potent-attack-ad.html">called it</a> “a case study in how independent political committees can have a major impact on a national campaign and provide a vehicle for carrying out attacks with which a campaign organization cannot be associated.”</span>

And McCarthy, who had recently left the ad firm headed by Bush’s then-media adviser (and current Fox News Channel president) Roger Ailes, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/1988/11/03/us/bush-his-disavowed-backers-and-a-very-potent-attack-ad.html?pagewanted=3">told the Times</a> his ads could be harder hitting than Bush campaign’s because “we didn't have to worry about our own supporters' being upset or about attacks from the press or the Dukakis campaign.”</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Today, McCarthy seems somewhat miffed that the ad is such a major part of his legacy.

“Reporters love to write the words ‘Willie Horton,’ even though I’ve probably cut 10,000 ads in my life,” he <a href="http://www.baseballsavvy.com/archive/w_horton.htm">told POLITICO</a>. “Republicans love the Horton ad. Partisan Democrats hate it. Real people either don’t know who he is or think Willie Horton was an outfielder for the Detroit Tigers, which, of course, he was.”

But the ad also prompted at least one campaign to ask for his resignation years later when opponents raised the ad as an issue, and the liberal press <a href="http://thinkprogress.org/2010/08/26/horton-muslims-political/">pounced on it</a> when AFF rolled out the mosque ad.

Perhaps more significantly, it sparked a <a href="http://www.politico.com/static/PPM156_fec_gnl_cnsl_report_111391.html">Federal Election Commission investigation</a> into whether the National Security PAC illegally coordinated with the Bush campaign on what by law was supposed to have been an independent ad.

The FEC staff wrote that they had uncovered “several factors that would appear to support a finding that National Security PAC’s expenditures were not independent,” including that Ailes “may have implicitly communicated to Mr. McCarthy ... information about the candidate’s needs (for) ... developing and airing negative ads.”

Though the case was dropped when the FEC’s six commissioners deadlocked in a 3-3 party-line vote over whether to proceed, one of the Republican commissioners, Tom Josefiak, conceded at the time that Ailes and McCarthy “demonstrated some bad judgment that risked the appearance of or provided an opportunity for coordination.”

In a sign of how close-knit the Republican campaign world is, Josefiak is now the lawyer for the Crossroads political groups for which McCarthy is working. And he has had to respond to unrelated coordination allegations leveled by Democrats, who have signaled they may file additional complaints alleging illegal coordination between outside groups and parties or candidates.

McCarthy, for instance, has been paid $338,000 to cut ads for the <b>National Republican Senatorial Committee and the National Republican Congressional Committee </b>in states where his outside group clients are active, such as Nevada, but he hasn’t worked on the same races for both clients, which would be illegal.

“It’s a perfect storm, in a lot of ways,” said analyst Norman Ornstein, pointing to predictions of a wave election, as well as a January <a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0110/31786.html">Supreme Court decision</a> that paved the way for anonymously funded political ads.

“For Larry, it’s a happy conjunction of circumstances for his business,” said Ornstein, who co-wrote a 1988 book with McCarthy called “The People, the Press and Politics,” and who remains friends with him.

“It’s not like Larry has caused this. These ads are run because they work, but what I fear is that we are already deeply down on politics and our institutions, and this is going to make it so much worse.”</font></p>
