Feingold Ad: Ron Johnson Is A Blank Whiteboard (VIDEO)

From a Feingold campaign ad,

Sen. Russ Feingold (D-WI) has a new ad against his Republican opponent Ron Johnson, slamming Johnson’s multiple admissions that he does not have detailed policy proposals. The ad depicted Johnson’s non-existent plans as a blank whiteboard, which ultimately collapses to the floor.

“Ron Johnson has spent a lot of money on TV ads. But he won’t tell you what his plans are,” the announcer says. “When he was asked what his plan was to create jobs, he didn’t have one. When he was asked what spending he would cut, he said he wouldn’t play that game. The fact is, Mr. Johnson has no plans. He says his true feelings can take voice after the election. When times are tough, who do you trust to stand up for us?”

The TPM Poll Average gives Johnson a lead of 51.7%-44.4%.
