Dems are a sick sick bunch. WASHINGTON — John Allen Muhammad, accused in the sniper killings, has made his political debut. His image is appearing in a gun control commercial that an underdog Democrat hopes to ride to victory in New Jersey. "Scott Garrett shouldn't be blamed for the sniper,'' says a commercial that Anne Sumers' campaign has begun airing in a district in the northern part of the state. "But Garrett's positions are the problem.'' The Garrett campaign sharply criticized the ad. "I think it's sickening to see Anne Sumers exploiting the tragedy of the sniper shootings in a cheap attempt to get votes and avoid the real issues,'' said Evan Kozlow, a spokesman for the GOP contender. Jeff Garcia, a spokesman for Sumers, defended the ad as an attempt to use a recent event to bring the important issue of gun control to the voters. The commercial opens with a newspaper photo of Muhammad, who faces charges in the shooting deaths that terrorized the Washington, D.C., area this month. That fades to the image of a barrel of a gun on one side of the screen and a picture of Garrett on the other. The ad says Garrett voted in the Legislature to repeal a ban on assault weapons and to weaken laws covering concealed weapons. Garrett and Sumers are contesting an open House seat that retiring GOP Rep. Marge Roukema has long held. Republican strategists say that Garrett is on his way to victory. Democrats concede Sumers will need a late surge to win.
