36. And tthis righteous anger will inspire them to do what?
The fact is that his constituents likely know him better than the people making the ad. The problem I have is that if you can prove quid por quo, it is important for the Senate ethics committee togo after him. However, here there is nothing backing that assertion. He votes conservatively for a Democrat, but he does represent a conservative state. (I know it is annoying that he votes with teh Republicans so often.)


My point is that I seriously doubt this is the type of ad that generates constituent arguments to change his mind. We are on the side most people agree with. A good positive ad that spends most of its time making a great positive case the health care plan, asking people call their Senator with their stories could have more impact.

Convincing people their Senator is corrupt, does nothing to sell the health care plan.
