Democratic Attack Ads Aim To Save Senate Majority
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Their majority in jeopardy, Senate Democrats unleashed a late-campaign round of attack ads Monday accusing Republicans in key races of harboring plans to cut Social Security and Medicare.
The commercials in Iowa, New Hampshire, Louisiana and elsewhere appear aimed at older voters, who cast ballots in relatively large numbers in midterm elections and have tended to support Republicans in recent years.
One ad, airing in Iowa, shows Republican candidate Joni Ernst on videotape saying, "Yes, I have talked about privatizing Social Security."
Another, which began appearing in New Hampshire during the day, says that while Scott Brown was a senator from Massachusetts he voted to "cut Medicare and Social Security while giving tax breaks to millionaires and oil companies."
