Democrats launch TV ad targeting Boehner's ties to lobbyists
By Michael O'Brien - 09/14/10 06:29 AM ET

Democrats on Tuesday released their second national TV ad in a week targeting House Minority Leader John Boehner.

The new ad hist Boehner (R-Ohio) on his ties to business, and follows a story published by The New York Times on Sunday about the Republican leader's relationship with lobbyists and business groups.

The Democratic National Committee's ad accuses Boehner, who would be the House Speaker if Republicans win back the majority this fall, of being "a speaker for big-time lobbyists." The spot is entitled "Boehner Land."

Democrats from President Obama down have worked hard over the past week to elevate Boehner as the face of the Republican party in the hope that this will rally their base to the polls. Surveys suggest Democrats could face a wave election that would knock out their majorities in the House and possibly the Senate.

The new TV spot will rotate with the other ad, "You're Welcome," targeting Boehner on jobs and the economy, in a rotation of ads on national cable beginning on Tuesday, and running roughly for a week.
