Republican Sharron Angle’s new ad in the Nevada Senate race makes a simple pitch against Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid: Reid and the Democrats have wrecked the country since President Obama was elected, the ad says, and it’s “our turn” for voters to get back at them.
“They promised change,” the announcer says, as the screen shows Reid, President Obama and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). “But they delivered unprecedented spending, overwhelming debt, heartbreaking job loss, astounding foreclosures, skyrocketing bankruptcies.
“They promised change — now, it’s our turn.”
Note the on-screen text, “Send Washington a message,” basing a vote for Angle as being against the Democrats, rather than coming up with a genuine reason to vote in favor of Angle. Both of the candidates in this race are so unpopular with the voters, that they’re basing their pitches more on being in opposition to each other. (Though this is even more true on Angle’s side than it is for Reid, who has included some positive pitches mixed in with his anti-Angle spots.)
The TPM Poll Average gives Angle a lead of 49.6%-46.6%.
