American Future Fund On the Air in Seven More Districts

The conservative American Future Fund launched TV ads in seven more House districts today, bringing them on the air in 14 districts across the U.S. The total ad buy cost $2.3 million, according to the group's founder, bringing the 14-district ad reservation to $4 million.

....

The new districts are Alabama's 2nd, where Rep. Bobby Bright (D) is running for reelection; Georgia's 8th, where Rep. Jim Marshall (D) is running for reelection; Michigan's 1st, where state Rep. Gary McDowell and surgeon Dan Benishek are fighting to replace retiring Rep. Bart Stupak; Michigan's 7th, where former Rep. Tim Walberg (R) is again running against Rep. Mark Schauer (D); New Jersey's 3rd, where Rep. John Adler (D) is running for reelection; South Carolina's 5th, where Rep. John Spratt (D) is running for reelection; and West Virginia's 1st, where Democrat Mike Oliverio and Republican David McKinley are running to replace Rep. Alan Mollohan, who lost in the primary. All are races where one or both House campaign committees have also reserved airtime.

Each ad is similar, accusing the Democrat in the race of trying to trick voters and say he supported Nancy Pelosi for Speaker. In the ad being run against Schauer, for example, the narrator ticks off his votes for health care reform and higher energy taxes.

"Don't be tricked," the female narrator concludes. "Magic can't change his liberal record, but this November your vote can make Mark Schauer disappear."

AFF is still on the air in South Dakota, Texas' 17th district, Washington's 3rd district, New Mexico's 1st district, Arkansas' 1st district, Indiana's 9th district and Mississippi's 1st district. The group just went off the air in Iowa's 1st district, a race that neither party is targeting, and in the New Hampshire Senate race.
