A Suggestion for the NRCC

It seems to me that this is the right time to produce a commercial that explains why Democrats can't be trusted to clean up Washington. It would be a minute or minute-and-a-half long, and would not have to be a large buy: the only goal would be to get it on CNN, MSNBC, Fox, and YouTube. It would mention Pelosi's plan to have Alcee Hastings chair the Intelligence Committee, Harry Reid's land deal, Bill Jefferson's cold cash, Bob Menendez's federal probe, and whatever other ethics problems are appropriate to bring in.

Since the Democrats' major goal is to present themselves as the safe and acceptable alternative, why not remind the voters in the last few days of why Democrats aren't safe and acceptable. An ad like this could get a lot of attention, and help convince wavering voters that the Democrats can't be trusted to change things in Washington - at least, not in a good way.

Back to the top.
