The National Republican Senatorial Committee has a new ad in the West Virginia Senate race, accusing Democratic Gov. Joe Manchin of “camouflaging” his support for President Obama.
The ad uses a video of clip of Manchin with a hunting rifle — but no camo gear — lifted from Manchin’s ad in which he distanced himself from national Dems by shooting a paper labeled as “Cap And Trade Bill.”
“Joe Manchin is on a hunting trip — he’s hunting for votes,” the announcer says. “But Manchin’s camouflaging his support of President Obama’s worst policies. Joe Manchin supported Obama’s government takeover of health care. Joe Manchin supported Obama’s stimulus bill. It wasted billions and created more debt. A good governor — has a bad idea. Send Joe Manchin back to Charleston, and send a message to Obama.”
The TPM Poll Average gives Republican nominee John Raese a lead of 46.8%-45.6%.
