DSCC Goes On-Air Against McConnell, Other GOP Sens up in 2008

by Jonathan Singer, Tue Jul 10, 2007

This is what I'm talking about.

George W. Bush's approval rating hits an all-time low of 29 percent in the latest Gallup poll, an important marker given the prominence and history of the organization, and Pollster.com now estimates that just 27.7 percent of Americans approve of the job that the President is doing. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who is up for reelection in Kentucky this cycle, has been willing to stand with the President at almost every turn this Congress, particularly on the issue of Iraq. But does the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee just assume that Kentuckians know about McConnell's fealty to President Bush? No. They're running ads in Kentucky that make the connection quite explicit.

...

Similar ads are now running in Minnesota (against Norm Coleman), Maine (against Susan Collins), and New Hampshire (against John Sununu), each of whom face potentially difficult reelection battles this cycle yet continue to go against the will of their constituents and indeed what's best for America and Iraq at this point by refusing to give up their support for an undending U.S. military presence in Iraq. (You can see all of the ads and find out how to help keep them on the air here.) While this isn't a terribly large ad buy -- in fact it's a really small ad buy at just $90,000 in total -- the ads will no doubt be run over and over again for free, both on the national cable nets as well as the local television news, greatly increasing their impact.
