This is a cool ad on a couple of levels. First, the GOP rightfully goes after Specter (1) because he is a Democrat, and (2) he is the very essence of what it was to be a RINO. So the ad does a nice job reminding Republicans in Pennsylvania that the guy is an unprincipled turncoat.
The real beauty, however, is that the ad works just as well to kill off Specter’s chances in the Democrat primary, showing Dems that Specter wears his party affiliation as the tiniest of fig leaves, subject to blowing away in the slightest zephyr in a partisan fight.
Specter and Toomey are in a dead-heat in the RCP average. Ads like these that also force Specter to defend himself as a ‘real’ Democrat in a primary running against a real Democrat are money well spent.
