MO-SEN: McCaskill, DCCC Launch First TV Ad Blasting Talent
The DSCC has finally gotten around to spending some of the $6 million they promised to dump into the race between GOP Senator Jim Talent and challenger Claire McCatskill. It has just launched its first ad -- titled "Gas" -- slamming Talent for his votes supporting billions in tax breaks for oil companies. The ad is a counterattack against the negative ads Talent released over the weekend attacking Ms. McCaskill for supporting the “death tax”, calling Howard Dean “her hero”, and voting against the state’s constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. View the new McCatskill ad here.

Talent has spent millions already. Big Pharma, and a couple of other interest groups have really dumped money into the Talent campaign. It is about time the cheapskates at the DSCC spent a little money in response. Missouri is a race McCaskill can win, but it is going to require some effort. I wonder if the Washington bubble people are willing to what it takes to win.
