Patriot Majority, the pro-Harry Reid independent expenditure group, is out with a new ad on conservative radio in Reno designed, in part, to push voters toward Tea Party of Nevada candidate Scott Ashjian.

The ad ostensibly attacks Republican Sharron Angle for attempting to make a “backroom deal” to get Ashjian out of the race. It labels her as “just another politician,” while casting Ashjian as a reasonable alternative for voters fed up with politics as usual.

The ad mentions Ashjian by name four times, calling him the “tea party guy.”

“Scott Ashjian is still running against Angle and Harry Reid,” one of the characters in the ad says.

1. I'm confused...

Are there TWO tea party candidates in this race? Sharron Angle is a teabagger, and now this guy?

4. Remember, Angle is a Republican

Ashjian is the official TEA Party candidate on the ballot in Nevada.

This is hilarious.

2. Yeah I don't get it

They run as teabaggers, and if they win they suddenly become R's with money from the GOP. Don't the teabaggers see that? This can only be good news for Harry. Split that vote. LOL!

3. Exactly.......

The Reid camp will not go down without a good fight,
Let the games begin.

5. The Reid Camp will not go down...

Reid is unlikely to lose. He is presented one way in the national media, but another way in Nevada itself.

Reid typically wins narrowly, but he does win.

Watch.

8. I think it's great.

Just needs a little editing. It's a little too long. People won't have the attention span to watch it all. Pick a few items & emphasize those. People who might be tempted to vote for a teabagger don't care about the United Nations, for instance.

10. Wow! That was really excellent!

And you sure did cover everything, LOL. I agree that you need to split it up, since most people have very short attention spans, but you certainly did your homework and put the message across in a most compelling way. Harry Reid could use it... Welcome to DU, tigereon! It's great to have you with us! :toast: :hi:

7. This is depressing.

No conscience, no integrity by Reid.

9. This is NOT a Reid ad
