In his campaign's first TV ad, Indiana Democratic Senate nominee Brad Ellsworth criticizes the "lobbyists and special interests" in Washington. Of course, that's a not-so-subtle dig at GOP opponent Dan Coats, who is a former D.C. lobbyist.
The question this TV ad seems to raise is who is more Washington -- Ellsworth (a two-term current member of Congress) or Coats (former congressman, senator, and lobbyist)?*** UPDATE *** The National Republican Senatorial Committee responds to the ad: "The fact remains that Congressman Ellsworth stood with Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama and rubberstamped their reckless spending agenda in Washington – including their government health care bill and stimulus debacle – which have driven the national debt past $13 trillion and hurt thousands of Indiana jobs."
