AdWatch: Featured in DSCC ad: "Elect more women to Senate"
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is taking advantage of the controversy over contraception and women's health issues to feature its female office-seekers. A new ad from the DSCC accuses male Republican candidates for
Senate of perpetrating an "assault on women's health and freedom" and focusing on social rather than economic issues. [Heidi Hietkamp is featured in the DSCC ad, which says]:"It's time to end the culture wars and get to work for the middle class.
Time to elect more women to the U.S. Senate," a female narrator says, followed by clips of 11 female Democratic challengers and incumbents up for reelection endorsing the ad. "Send a Democratic woman to the
Senate," the commercial's text reads under portraits of the women. "Send them all."

AdWatch: criticized as "Heidi-ho" for "Barack-o" socialism
A North Dakota Republican businessman is so committed to making sure Democrat Heidi Heitkamp doesn't make it to the U.S. Senate that he has used his own money to run an attack ad on the radio.
While that's unusual, it's the nickname that he gives the candidate in the spot that is raising some eyebrows in the state. Below is a transcript:- Attention North Dakotans! Let's get behind Obama and support
ObamaCare and throw the senior citizens off the cliff...
- That's what a vote for Heidi Heitkamp would do. She wants to support Obama. Cutting the military; bankruptcy; ObamaCare; and cut funding for needed for senior citizens.
-
A vote for her would be a vote for Obama socialism.
- Barack-o, Heidi-ho, I don't think so.
- Save the North Dakota senior citizens.
