Here Are Some Good Ads

This should whet everyone's appetite for the campaign ad wars to come. First from the DCCC, mocking the "moral high ground" that Republicans find themselves on these days:



Next, from Public Campaign Action Fund, recounting a sordid story where Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell rewarded a former staffer-turned-lobbyist who raised $120,000 for his campaign, by providing his firm with an $8.3 million dollar contract to provide iPods for Afghani tribesmen. That was not devised in a Hollywood writer's room.



Progressive organizations big and small are hitting McConnell, and I think the suits in Washington see it as payback for Republicans going after then-Minority Leader Tom Daschle. His re-elect numbers have been dropping, and there's an opponent who's won a statewide race, Attorney General Greg Stumbo. This should be a fun one next year.
