Ads target 3 Republicans, Lincoln

The National Republican Trust PAC, which in the final days of the presidential campaign spent some $7 million airing an ad featuring Jeremiah Wright, is attacking three Republican Senators and one Democrat for their votes for Obama's stimulus plan in new radio ads.

The ad, citing the Wall Street Journal and (more tendentiously) the Congressional Budget Office says the plan "just won't work" and that it's "packed with pork-barrel programs" including "bail for criminals" and money for ACORN.

"Senator Blanche Lincoln is backing the shocking Obama-Reid-Pelosi plan," says the Lincoln version of the ad. "Stand up to Obama and Lincoln."

The ads target Republicans Arlen Specter, Olympia Snowe, and Susan Collins, as well as Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas, "because she resides in a conservative state and is vulnerable during the election season next year," a spokeswoman for the group said.

The ads are on air in Pennsylvania and Arkansas, and will be up in Maine soon, she said.
