DCCC Targets Duffy With First IE Ad
The DCCC is going up with its first independent expenditure ad of the cycle, targeting former Ashland Co. DA and "Real World" star Sean Duffy (R) in WI 07 for past statements supporting the privatization of Social Security.
Duffy is facing off against state Sen. Julie Lassa (D) for the seat vacated by retiring Rep. David Obey (D).
"Politicians like Sean Duffy just don't get it," the narrator says. "When we should be fighting to protect Social Security, Sean Duffy backed a plan to privatize it. Privatizing would cut the guaranteed benefit and gamble seniors retirement on the stock market."
The ad is another example of how Democrats believe Social Security will be a vulnerability for certain Republican candidates this year. Dems are highlighting aspects of Rep. Paul Ryan's proposed budget, which calls for privatizing Social Security.
WI 07 is considered a toss up race, and Dems are seeking to use their substantial financial advantage to assist Lassa. Duffy, who entered the race months before Obey announced his retirement, has raised twice the amount Lassa has banked. But this is the type of race where the DCCC's substantial CoH advantage over the NRCC -- - $35.8M to $22.1M -- comes in.
ie9? Should Microsoft just consider the browser and let Firefox and Chrome run the show, since they are doing much better job?
