Priorities USA (Democratic "Super PAC") launches ads attacking Republicans on Medicare

Priorities USA launches ads attacking Republicans on Medicare
By Chris Cillizza and Aaron Blake

Priorities USA, a Democratic-aligned super PAC run by two former senior aides in the Obama Administration, is launching television ads in five swing states attacking Republicans for their vote to overhaul Medicare.

The ads, which will run in Iowa, North Carolina, Virginia, Florida and Colorado for the next two weeks, are designed as a response to commercials put on the air in 10 states late last week by Crossroads GPS, a conservative-minded organization, that attacked President Obama’s handling of the economy.

They also mark the first significant spending by Priorities USA, a group formed in the aftermath of the 2010 election with the specific purpose of rebutting Republican outside expenditure efforts. The ad buy is $750,000.

“We know the ads blaming President Obama for the economy are politics at its worst,” says the narrator of the Priorities USA ad, as the words “Karl Rove-founded group launches anti-Obama ads” appear on screen.
