An Advertising Idea Against Sens. Schumer & Dodd

Anyone know why no PACs or rich conservative benefactors aren't running media blitzes in Upstate NY against Sen. Schumer over the IndyMac bank collapse or Sen. Dodd in Connecticut over his Countrywide sweetheart mortgage deal?

Small-town newspaper ads, radio spots, local TV, internet ads, anything that would get the message out while keeping costs low. These two have huge glaring targets all over them.

The Schumer ad I've imagined would talk about the bank collapses and focus in on all the lines with people at IndyMac waiting for their money, back in the summer. Then the announcer discusses how Sen. Schumer let secret info slip about the bank's decline and caused the panic on that bank. "How can he be trusted when he acts to hurt the financial security of millions?"-kind of thing.

Countless newspaper ads asking Sen. Dodd to release his papers regarding the deal he got as a "Friend of Angelo" on his mortgage from the failed lender Countrywide. Run those throughout Connecticut weekly."When Will You Come Clean Sen. Dodd?"

Any feedback or ideas about this out there? Am I way off base? Are people too tired of campaigning or is the cost too high? Thoughts?

Where are the GOP "Leaders"?

If these guys were Repubs, Shummer, Dodd, etc, would be on TV 24/7 asking for an investigation.

Perhaps the GOP so called "leaders" live in glass houses.

I might just start voting Dem because at the very least, they have a little "fight" in them.

You'd be much more cost effective hiring an economist to calculate a formula on how much these jokers cost each voter with their unethical and possibly illegal acts and create a little free web app so that each voter could calculate it for themselves. You write it once, release it and then people reach out for it themselves. The app approach is more effective because it's personal and there are plenty of repositories that will host the thing for free.

The scaling beauty of it is that you can redo the app for every Dem Senator or Congressman at minimal cost.
