Reply #67: Boxer should do an ad similar to the one Cantwell did against

McGavick. It was very powerful.

Unfortunately I can't find the video of the ad, but it was pitch perfect about why trying to run government just like a business does not work.

This article describes part of it.

Cantwell, McGavick sling barbs on Safeco and Social Security
MATTHEW DALY



WASHINGTON - It was one of the best lines in this week's Senate debate.

"Do you want to send somebody to Washington who is willing to cut thousands of employees off his payroll and take a cash bonus as a reward for that?" Sen. Maria Cantwell asked, referring to Republican challenger Mike McGavick.

As chief executive of Safeco Corp., McGavick laid off 1,700 people as he worked to return the insurance company to profitability. He received a bonus of $28 million when he left Safeco earlier this year.

Now Cantwell, the Democratic incumbent seeking a second Senate term from Washington, is repeating the attack in a new TV ad. "What's good for Mike is bad for the people of Washington," the ad says.
