Is it just me, or are ads produced by Democratic-allied groups getting stronger and stronger? The Hill takes a look at three ads by Americans United for Change targeting Republican Senators Collins (ME), McConnell (KY) and Sununu (NH). And while the ads against McConnell and Collins are both pretty good, the Sununu edit takes the prize:
Damn.
I’m feeling pretty good about this race. Given New Hampshire’s rapidly shifting partisan composition, Sununu’s steadfast support for Bush’s disastrous and unnecessary war in Iraq, and support from his new best friends at the extreme-right Club For Growth, I’m feeling pretty pumped about the chances of any challenger who isn’t a Lieberdem with a crappy electoral track record and a name that rhymes with Boba Fett.

how “Sprintin’ Sununu” has his own graphic with this ad.
I’m really starting to like our chances with Mr. 34%. Even more when you consider that his insanely out of whack stem cell vote is coming in for a sequel after Easter.
And for strong candidates whose names don’t rhyme with Boba Fett, check out Steve Marchand, who today introduced himself to the netroots via a diary on Blue Hampshire.
That one is at least equal to the VoteVets “body armor” ad against George Allen last cycle, which I thought was the best ad of 2006. Unless Boba Fett is the Democratic nominee, and possibly even if she is, Sununu has already lost. It’s not every day that an incumbent already out of step with his constituents self-incriminates so badly that ads this powerful essentially write themselves this early in the cycle.
“Senator Marchand” has a nice ring to it.
…is already reaching out in impressive ways.
