MT-SEN: Burns Blasts Tester For Wanting To "Repeal" Patriot Act

At a debate last weekend, Dem Senate candidate Jon Tester flatly declared that he wanted to "repeal" the Patriot Act -- a sign of how much things have shifted in Montana, which Bush carried by a sizeable majority in 2004. Now GOP Senator Conrad Burns has released an attack ad blasting his position. While throbbing and scary music plays in the background, the ad shows images of wanted posters of terrorists alternating with Tester saying "repeal" again and again. We'll see how it plays in a state where the legislature passed a resolution with overwhelming bipartisan support criticizing the act. View the ad here.

Makes me feel good about having given more money to Tester this morning.

The ad's going to solidify Burns' base, but unless Tester tries answering it, there shouldn't be much impact...as long as Tester stays on the offensive. I think they ought to show Burns falling asleep in a committee hearing as backdrop to an attack ad...
