The DNC is up with a new ad that will run nationally.
The ad highlights GOP figures such as Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Steele, Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), and Rush Limbaugh, accusing them of trying to kill healthcare reform efforts for political gain.
“The status quo that the Republican Party is championing is breaking American families, small businesses and state budgets across the nation and only stands to get far worse in the years ahead if nothing is done — as they propose,” DNC Communications Director Brad Woodhouse said in a statement. “And still, the GOP continues to see health insurance reform as an opportunity to score a political win for their ailing party. “
Three of the figures in the ad make sense: Steele, DeMint, and Limbaugh. The fourth, Graham, is an odd choice. It’s possible Democrats view him as an emerging voice in the GOP.
