CT GOP challenger: Vote no on Congress

(Full disclosure: one of my friends produced this ad)

CT 2, which was the site of the nation's closest House race in 2006, has been a snoozer to date. Democrat Joe Courtney is a dry but likable guy who does little to offend people, which given he won by 83 votes was wise on his part. One of the people Courtney is most unctuous towards is Speaker Nancy Pelosi, whom he supports 98% of the time. While CT 2 is a lean Democratic district, this rural, blue collar military oriented area is a far cry from San Francisco.

The GOP recruited a good man to run here, former sub base commander Sean Sullivan, but frankly he has been poorly served by his campaign staff. But at long last a professional was retained to focus the message. Here's the result.

Rubber stamp Democrats should be forced out of their constituent service comfort zone and be forced to defend the achievements of the current Congress.

This is an uphill climb; polling shows Courtney over the 50% mark and Sullivan is largely unknown.  But we'll see how many angry voters think re-electing an incumbent is a good way to express anger.
