The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has a new ad in the Nevada Senate race, making an odd sell in the effort to save Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
The ad briefly re-employs the motif from their previous spot, using the metaphor of the frustrated voter as a woman boxing against a punching bag. “It’s frustrating,” the announcer says. “You want to send a message to Washington — but Sharron Angle?
“Sharron Angle says it’s not a Senator’s job to help create jobs. Sharron Angle says the unemployed are ‘spoiled.’ She wants to phase out Social Security and Medicare. Two candidates: Harry Reid will fight for Nevada jobs and defend Social Security and Medicare. Sharron Angle will cost us, and hurt our economy. Vote ‘No’ on Sharron Angle.”
The TPM Poll Average gives Angle a lead of 49.3%-46.9%.
