New American Crossroads ad shifts to pro-Tommy tone after attacking Baldwin
A new ad from Karl Rove-backed American Crossroads starts by framing Tammy Baldwin as extreme before urging voters to consider the "common sense solutions" of Tommy Thompson.
The 30-second ad, titled "No Slate," begins with the clip of Baldwin saying "You're damn right we're making a difference," before the narrator questions whether "extreme" legislators like Baldwin really are making a difference.
"So far, Tammy's voted to raise taxes, to cut 700 billion from Medicare spending, for trillions in new debt and Washington is more broken than ever."
The ad then shifts to a positive look at Tommy Thompson, saying that he "governs the Wisconsin way" and will protect medicare.
The ad ends with the tagline, "Tommy Thompson: The difference Wisconsin deserves."
