Mitt Romney 'genuinely cares'
Wednesday, October 24, 2012 - 10:09 YouTube/Screenshot This ad from Crossroads GPS features Iraq War veteran Peter Damon veteran benefited from Romney's help. Mitt Romney hasn't talked much about his charitable work in public, and with outside spending focused on attack ads, even Republicans have been concerned that the GOP presidential nominee appears too aloof. Two new ads from outside spenders are hoping to change that. “ Genuinely Cares ” from the pro-Romney super PAC Restore Our Future and “ Mitt and David ” from the conservative nonprofit Crossroads GPS tell the stories of two individuals who received support from Romney. They are a sharp departure from both groups’ standard attack ads. Restore Our Future has spent a little more than $99 million thus far this election, with 86 percent going toward negative advertising and other campaign materials. “Genuinely Cares” features Army National Guard Sgt. Peter Damon, an Iraq War veteran, telling about how Gov. Romney ...

Dems looking to pick up Chicagoland seats
Wednesday, October 10, 2012 - 09:28 YouTube/Screenshot This ad from House Majority PAC and SEIU COPE shows Rep. Joe Walsh, R-Ill., yelling during a public appearance. Redistricting in the Chicago metro area has endangered Republicans who hold House seats in the already Democrat-dominated region and attracted some major spending by a labor union and a liberal super PAC. Republican Reps. Joe Walsh, Bob Dold and Judy Biggert are targeted in a new ad from House Majority PAC and SEIU COPE , the political action committee of the Service Employees International Union, as part of a $2.4 million campaign in the region. The ad shows what appears to be an angry tirade from Walsh and a list of housing and health care votes House Majority PAC calls “extreme.” Walsh is running in the redrawn 8th District and faces the well-liked Iraq war veteran Tammy Duckworth. Duckworth has the backing of the Now or Never super PAC, which has spent $1.8 million supporting her, according to the Center ...

Nebraska Senate race targeted by Democratic super PAC
Wednesday, October 3, 2012 - 09:43 YouTube/Screenshot The super PAC End the Gridlock, responsible for this ad, has spent entirely in opposition to Deb Fischer, the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Nebraska. Republicans appear to be getting closer to picking up the U.S. Senate seat in Nebraska even as liberal super PAC End the Gridlock spends more than $534,000 opposing the GOP candidate, state Sen. Deb Fischer. Fischer faces former U.S. Sen. Bob Kerrey in the race to replace retiring Democratic Sen. Ben Nelson in the Republican-leaning state. End the Gridlock was established in April in Washington, D.C., and has spent entirely in opposition to Fischer. Nonetheless, End the Gridlock’s website says it plans to focus on “high-impact races” and names only Nebraska as such a race. Its most recent quarterly filing shows the super PAC took in $229,000 through the end of June. The top donor , Hollywood producer Sidney Kimmel, gave $100,000. Kimmel earned his ...

Nonprofit spends $8.2 million against Obama
Friday, September 28, 2012 - 09:11 YouTube/Screenshot Americans for Job Security enters the presidential election with an $8.2 million ad buy for "Running." Americans for Job Security , a conservative nonprofit organized as a trade association, reported that an ad criticizing President Barack Obama, titled “ Running ,” cost $8.2 million , a significant figure considering the group’s total take in its 2010 fiscal year was $12 million, according to its most recent tax filing . “Running,” released Wednesday, is the group’s first reported presidential ad of the election. It shows a mother jogging down the street as she says in the voiceover that she’s “running to forget” the bad economy, her husband’s layoffs and the national debt. “The future is getting worse under Obama,” she says. The ad is airing in six swing states. Americans for Job Security is run by president Stephen Demaura, the former director of the New Hampshire State Republican Committee, out of an Alexandria, ...

Veterans groups jump into U.S. Senate race in Arizona
Thursday, September 27, 2012 - 10:11 YouTube/Screenshot VoteVets and Majority PAC released "Uniform," which builds on a new line of attack against Rep. Jeff Flake, the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Arizona - that he does not support veterans. A new ad from a veterans’ outside spending group and a major Democratic super PAC accuses Arizona Republican Rep. Jeff Flake of failing to support members of the armed services. “Congressman Flake voted to send us to that war,” says Steven Lopez, an Iraq war veteran, in the new ad, “and then voted against us when we returned home.” Flake and former Surgeon General Richard Carmona, a Democrat, are facing off to replace retiring Republican Sen. John Kyl in an increasingly competitive race. “ Uniform ” from VoteVets Action Fund , a nonprofit, and Majority PAC draws attention to Flake’s vote against the 2008 GI Bill, which expanded benefits to Iraq war veterans. The bill, now law, provides tuition to public universities for ...
