Now this is what I'm talking about:

Democratic State Sen. Jason Carter released a new ad on Monday that seeks to remind Georgians about Republican Gov. Nathan Deal's handling of a January snowstorm that left thousands of Atlanta-area residents stranded and forced children to sleep overnight in schools or remain stuck on school buses.
The new ad quickly reminds viewers of the snowstorm -- and how many children were left stranded -- but then leads into another of Carter's leading attacks: That Deal has supported drastic cuts in public education funding that could jeopardize the state's schools.
"Remember? Thousands of children stranded on buses and sleeping overnight in schools. But Nathan Deal didn't just fail our children in the snowstorm, he's failing them everyday in our schools," the ad's announcer says. "Short-changing education by $4 billion. Nine thousand fewer teachers in the classroom. Eighty thousands fewer Hope [Scholarship] recipients. Nathan Deal's failure in the snowstorm is now a painful memory. But our children will be paying for his failures in education for a long time." - Washington Post, 10/27/14
Nice attack ad. By the way, this has been Deal's latest line of attack against Carter:

“I’m not going to use this office as a stepping stone,” Deal told a crowd of about 75 in downtown Dahlonega. “You can believe he will be looking to run for president. Don’t give him a stepping stone or a springboard for higher office.”
The Atlanta state senator, grandson of former President Jimmy Carter, is trying to follow in his grandpa’s footsteps from the Senate chamber to the governor’s mansion. He has said nothing about higher ambitions.
It was the first stop on a swing through dozens of Georgia cities through the Nov. 4 election. Monday’s journey ping-pongs through the northern part of the state, a crucial bastion for Republicans. The northern third of the state has become the epicenter of Georgia’s political power, and that tectonic shift away from more rural south Georgia has reshaped the state’s politics.
“There was not a part of Georgia that has friendlier Republicans than this one,” said Deal. At a later stop in Jefferson, he said the state isn’t yet in danger of going to the Democratic column.
“If you see somebody turning purple, there’s something wrong with them,” said the governor. “They are being starved from the truth.” - Atlanta Journal-Constitution, 10/27/14
Carter has shown no indication that he has any interest in running for President just because hie grandfather was Governor and President. If anything, Deal sounds more like he's describing Governors Scott Walker (R. WI) and John Kasich (R. OH) who are both rumored to be Presidential candidates. Any way, lets defeat Deal on Election Day by donating and contributing to Carter's campaign:
