Massachusetts state Attorney General Martha Coakley, the Democratic candidate in the January 19 special election for Senate, has her first TV ad up for the general election campaign.
“Cracking down on corporate greed; shutting down scammers who rip off seniors; putting sex predators behind bars,” says Coakley. “It’s not what you say that matters — it’s who you stand up for.”
The reference to what people say could be a rebuttal of Republican candidate Scott Brown’s recent ad in which he used video from 1962 of President John F. Kennedy promoting a tax cut proposal. In that ad, the video faded from Kennedy to Brown, continuing to recite the words of the speech in order to promote modern-day tax cuts.
