Hutchison Uses Cheney In Positive Ad

By Reid Wilson

In what may be his first appearance in a positive TV spot since the '04 elections, ex-VP Dick Cheney makes a cameo in a new ad for Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX).

As Hutchison and Gov. Rick Perry (R) battle over each others' conservative credentials, Cheney serves as an implicit alibi for Hutchison's bona fides. Cheney endorsed Hutchison last month, and the new ad uses footage from that rally.

"It's time for a conservative governor who doesn't just talk tough, but delivers," the ad says, over an image of Hutchison addressing a crowd while Cheney looks on.

It's the second ad Hutchison has run during her campaign. Perry is also on TV; he is still running his first ad, a positive spot that contrasts his record with problems in DC.

Perry will file for re-election today, the Dallas Morning News reports.
