The National Republican Congressional Committee says it's going to run radio ads for a week against Democrats in 12 districts nationwide, including Tim Walz in Minnesota's 1st.
“Democrats have a real record that they are going to have to defend in 2008, and we are going to use every resource available to expose that record to the voters,” NRCC Communications Director Jessica Boulanger said. “Freshman Democrats have undergone an extreme makeover since arriving in Washington. They’ve been strong-armed by Speaker Pelosi into abandoning their campaign pledges, and their constituents deserve to know.”
The ads are designed to send people to the NRCC Web site, where they say more bad stuff about Democrats. This is the part of their announcement I found interesting:
Additionally, the NRCC began phone calls into targeted districts, and launched an online banner ad buy on 20 conservative blogs and prominent news websites. Along with a viral marketing campaign targeting over one million voters, the NRCC will utilize the banner ads to drive traffic to the site, capture email addresses and emphasize the message that Democrats are accumulating a record of broken promises.
The campaign really is starting early, isn't it?
