Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) is continuing his plan to seemingly repeat Sen. Kay Hagan’s (D-NC) successful ad blitz that won her the 2008 election over Elizabeth Dole. Using the same two actors Hagan did in her old-men-rocking-on-a-porch spots, Burr is turning their elderly frustration against the Democratic nominee, Secretary of State Elaine Marshall, this year.
The new ad focuses on the standard GOP bogeymen of the cycle — rising deficits, spending and cap-and-trade.
“Six!” one old man yells from his rocking chair.
“Nope, a little before five,” the other deapans from his rocking chair.
The two then begin to banter about the “six trillion dollars in new government spending” the pair say Marshall wants to bring to Washington.
The TPM Poll Average shows Burr leading Marshall 53.3-35.4.
