The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has a new attack ad out in the Delaware Senate race, further hammering Republican nominee Christine O’Donnell. Like their previous ad, the DSCC stays away from O’Donnell’s numerous controversial statements and right-wing positions, and instead focuses on her personal finances — and her campaign finances, and how the two seem to be mixed together.
“Christine O’Donnell spends money like she’s already in Washington,” the announcer says. “She put her mother on her campaign payroll. She spent campaign money on personal expenses — including dinners, travel, even paying half her rent.
“So Christine O’Donnell spent money on herself, but she didn’t pay her own employees. Christine O’Donnell. She thinks it’s all about her. When we need someone who’s all about us.”

The TPM Poll Average gives Democratic nominee Chris Coons a lead of 55.0%-39.6%. So it seems quite interesting that the Dems are dropping money here. Then again, O’Donnell has been raising money hand over fist online, so that probably does need to be countered.
