MoveOn.org will begin airing attack ads as early as Wednesday against eight Republican senators who blocked debate on the Bush administration’s plan for a troop surge in Iraq.

The liberal organization has already scripted and is now producing the ads to run on CNN. As of Tuesday afternoon, airtime also had been purchased on local television stations in Kansas, New Hampshire, Oregon and Virginia.

The ads specifically target those states’ senators: Sam Brownback, John Sununu, Gordon Smith, and John Warner, respectively. Sununu, Smith and Warner face re-election in 2008; Brownback, a presidential candidate, is up again in 2010.

The ads also take aim at Sens. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, John Voinovich of Ohio, Elizabeth Dole of North Carolina and Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. Dole and McConnell both face 2008 challenges.........
