WASHINGTON -- The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee released a statement on Tuesday evening denouncing what could very well be the most outrageously sexist and racist ad in political history.

3. Doesn't sound like the kind of ad that would please voters in West L.A.
and Santa Monica. Mostly liberals over there.

4. this isn't west LA but more south of west LA, but liberals still dominate
there are a few old conservatives around Torrance area. but the area has grown much more liberal in the last decade or so.

so the ad still makes no sense.
