Anti-Wall Street and anti-corporate themes have coursed through TV ads in Pennsylvania's neck-and-neck Senate race, while both Toomey and McGinty have tried to position themselves as a fighter for the middle class. Democrats have labeled Toomey as a "millionaire" former investment banker who defends tax subsidies for oil exploration companies and advances Wall Street's agenda in the Senate. In turn, a new Toomey campaign TV ad says the freshman senator "fights against corporate welfare, big bank bailouts and giant corporate handouts" while saying McGinty "gamed the corporate welfare system to line her own pockets."
