Club for Growth slams Donnelly with $800,000 ad buy

The Club for Growth is out with a new ad in the Indiana Senate race, slamming Democratic Rep. Joe Donnelly for his support of Democratic policies in Washington.

The ad, "Typical," is part of an $800,000 buy in the state. It attacks Donnelly for supporting "liberal Nancy Pelosi for Speaker" of the House, the bank bailout and a "government takeover of health care" in backing President Obama's healthcare reform law.

Though the state leans Republican, recent Democratic polls have shown Donnelly tied with Republican challenger Richard Mourdock, and Democratic outside groups have been boosting Donnelly with similar ad buys. The Club for Growth's new ad seems to be an attempt to gain some momentum going into the general election season.
