Video: Conservative Ads Blitz Top Senate Races


Americans for Prosperity is launching anti-Obamacare ad campaigns in four key states, The Hill reports, which will undoubtedly fuel Democrats' Koch Derangement Syndrome. The story mentions the Kochs in both the headline and the lede; we'll see if the publication applies the same standard to campaigns bankrolled by liberal billionaires like Tom Steyer and Michael Bloomberg. The new spots will air in Louisiana, Michigan, Colorado and New Hampshire -- all states in which Democrat-held Senate seats are being targeted by the GOP. The Louisiana version features a Marine who served two tours in Iraq, and who isn't feeling especially grateful over Obamacare's changes to the health plan with which he was fully satisfied:

"I don't think Mary Landrieu is looking out for my best interests."


In Michigan, AFP hits Rep. Gary Peters for his unqualified support for a law that's hurting many consumers -- including single mother and leukemia patient Julie Boonstra:



And in New Hampshire, the organization builds a similar case against Sen. Jeanne Shaheen:



The Colorado spot hasn't been released yet. You can see my write-up of that contested race here. While the AFP ads are solid, the best ones I've seen this week come from GOP campaigns. Yesterday, Dan wrote up Tom Cotton's lighthearted push-back effort against Sen. Mark Pryor's outrageous "sense of entitlement" smear. A fresh poll in that race gives Pryor a ten-point lead, although the internals look rather suspect. Nevertheless, it's appears as though Cotton has work to do in order to unseat the incumbent. If Pryor survives in Arkansas, a Republican takeover of the Senate becomes highly unlikely. I'll leave you with this moving spot from Oregon doctor Monica Wehby:



Wehby has a compelling story to tell. Her years in the medical profession put her in an unique position to critique Obamacare, and her status as a woman renders "war on women" attacks less effective -- as Democrats are learning in Michigan. The theme of this ad is trust, highlighting her integrity and commitment to working for others when everything is on the line. She's drawing a contrast with incumbent Sen. Jeff Merkley, whom she's denounced for playing along with his party's "lie of the year" on Obamacare.
