Just a week after White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel let a bunch of progressive groups know he thinks targeting conservative Democrats is “f@cking stupid,” the campaign Health Care for America Now is expanding a television ad campaign to target a handful of key Blue Dogs and conservative Democrats in the Senate.
The ad will run for a week, starting today, in congressional districts represented by Reps. Jason Altmire (D-PA), Stephanie Herseth Sandlin (D-SD), and Rick Boucher (D-VA), and in New Mexico and Deleware, aimed at Sens. Jeff Bingaman (D-NM) and Tom Carper (D-DE). A version of it is also running in upstate New York, urging constituents to call their Congressmen to support reform.
