The latest ad attacking Sen. Sherrod Brown tipped the outside spending scales past the $10 million mark against the Ohio incumbent, the most money being spent against any Senate candidate, according to the Brown campaign.
The latest outside attack ad, with a buy of $1.1 million from the Karl Rove-affiliated Crossroads GPS, depicts Brown as the most loyal supporter of the “Obama agenda.” “It’s time to play, ‘Who’s the Biggest Supporter of the Obama Agenda In Ohio?'” an announcer says, as a game show appears on screen. “It’s Sherrod Brown! Brown backed Obama’s agenda a whopping 95 percent of the time.”
The Crossroads ad will run for 10 days in major media markets across the state.
The latest buy is part of a larger $7.8 million buy. A spokesperson for the Brown campaign says the campaign believes the rest of the $6.7 million will be used to attack Brown in the two months leading up to the election.
