HCAN Expands Ad Campaign To Target Key Dems

Just a week after White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel let a bunch of progressive groups know he thinks targeting conservative Democrats is "f@cking stupid," the campaign Health Care for America Now is expanding a television ad campaign to target a handful of key Blue Dogs and conservative Democrats in the Senate.

The ad will run for a week, starting today, in congressional districts represented by Reps. Jason Altmire (D-PA), Stephanie Herseth Sandlin (D-SD), and Rick Boucher (D-VA), and in New Mexico and Deleware, aimed at Sens. Jeff Bingaman (D-NM) and Tom Carper (D-DE). A version of it is also running in upstate New York, urging constituents to call their Congressmen to support reform.

This commercial really isn't anything that anyone in Congress, or Emmanuel, could legitimately have a problem with and I don't think it is the kind of thing Emmanuel was, um, opining about. It's not confrontational, it doesn't say the "targeted" congresspeople are part of the problem and it doesn't even hint that they're against any of the stuff the commercial is for. It just says "call them and tell them you support . . ." Nothing wrong with that. It's a good thing.
