Sen. Jeff Denham is on the air himself now in his effort to survive a recall attempt, calling the campaign against him a "vindictive" move by Senate President Pro Tem Don Perata.
Here's the script of the ad, which the Denham campaign titled "Just Plain Wrong":
"When a public official is guilty of malfeasance or criminal conduct in office, the California Constitution provides for the right to recall.
But no such accusations have been made against Senator Jeff Denham.
His only crime? Refusing to vote for a budget he said was billions out of balance - and he was right.
And that's why Senate Leader Don Perata's vindictive recall campaign against Senator Denham has been so widely condemned by throughout the district by elected Democrats and Republicans alike.
The Monterey County Herald called it an "Abuse of the ballot box."
The Madera Tribune calls it a "sham."
"Petty politics" adds the Hollister Freelance.
"Unjustified" says the Fresno Bee.
And the Merced Sun-Star says this recall is "Just plain wrong."
