even with public pressure prodding them, then I think that ad would be a huge failure. But I don't think that is the purpose of that ad.
I think this is a really just a way of announcing to the public that republicans are the problem, obstructing health care negotiations and serving as insurance industry lackeys.
This is presenting a very diplomatic tone as if they want to bring republicans around, but it delivers the message that the these particular republicans can't really be reasoned with and are a problem that needs to be removed.
It is a nice backhanded way of naming the obstructionists who need to be kicked out of the way without seeming to be hostile or confrontational.
