Is the William Horton Ad Yes?

Ducaucus had passed a law that allowed convicts to go out of prison on furlough. And there was a convict named willie horton who went out on furloughed, and i think rapton murdered somebody. So is the ducaucus campaign a glimpse of what the gerrihart campaign would have been? Yes, i think so. The other le atwater joint that he apologizes for, on his death bed, in which he says, rather tellingly, that he wishes he hadn't done it, because it makes him seem sis, which he is not.
