It is the truest sign that an election is upon us. Your TV is about to be taken over by political ads.

While Super PAC’s ads have been running on WSB Radio for weeks, they will now start appearing on all four Atlanta TV stations Wednesday.

The Super PAC supporting Mitt Romney called Restore Our Future has spent about $100,000 on air time in Atlanta through next Tuesday.

The commercial, which goes after Newt Gingrich, will run 18 times on WSB-TV in the next three days. The spot will air on “Channel 2 Action News This Morning,” “Good Morning America,” “Nightline,” and “This Week.”

This could mean that the former House Speaker and Georgia Congressman will have to put up a serious fight to defend his old home state.

Super PACs spent $30 million on primary ads, most of it attack ads, in South Carolina and Florida. Georgia’s primary is on Super Tuesday March 6.

Gingrich supporters plan to fight back.

“I hope that in Georgia we can set a different tone and have a positive campaign run in our state,” Governor Nathan Deal, who is supporting Gingrich, says he'll be helping out soon for the former Georgia congressman.

The accuracy of the ad that will be running in Georgia though has been called into question.

"Newt was fined $300,000 for ethics violations, took $1.6 million from Freddie Mac," the ad claims, "and co-sponsored a bill with Nancy Pelosi that would have given $60 million a year to a U.N. program supporting China’s brutal one-child policy."

The AJC/Politifact Georgia Truth-o-Meter gave that claim its lowest rating of "Pants on Fire."

The ad says that Gingrich "co-sponsored a bill with Nancy Pelosi that would have given $60 million a year to a U.N. program supporting China’s brutal one-child policy." Actually, the bill attempted to address climate change, and a third of House members were co-sponsors. The bill did propose money for the United Nations Population Fund, but it stated specifically that its funding could not be used for "involuntary sterilization or abortion or to coerce any person to accept family planning." The ad’s claim rests on repeated distortions, so we rate the statement Pants on Fire!

 

Gingrich will be in metro Atlanta Friday and Saturday for campaign stops. It is not clear if the pro-Gingrich Super PAC, Winning Our Future, will bring ads with them. He had a 14 percent lead over Romney in a poll by WSB and the AJC last week.
