Dem Highlights Support for Bush in Ad
ABC News reports:
We’ve seen plenty of Democrats in tight races trying to distance themselves from President Obama. But one Democrat, North Dakota's Rep. Earl Pomeroy, is taking this a step farther by actually embracing President George W. Bush.
Pomeroy is locked in what’s shaping up to be the toughest contest of his 17-year House career. He faces GOP state Rep. Rick Berg.
In one his first ads this cycle, Pomeroy highlighted his vote against cap-and-trade.
"No. I told the president and Congressional leaders no, on cap-and-trade legislation which would raise our electric rates and cost us energy jobs,” says Pomeroy in the ad, “It comes down to North Dakota common sense. It's not about party, it's not about politics. It's about doing what's right for North Dakota. I'm Earl Pomeroy, and I approve this message."
In his latest ad, Pomeroy goes a step further, highlighting his support for the Bush prescription drug plan which he says Berg would "roll back."
The ad opens with a bill signing featuring President Bush while a woman’s voice says, "When George Bush proposed a Medicare prescription drug plan, Earl Pomeroy voted yes, putting seniors before party.. Rick Berg would roll back prescription drug coverage."
