DCCC looks to rescue Rep. Grijalva
By Sean J. Miller - 10/16/10 03:28 PM ET


National Democrats are coming to the defense of Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.).

Grijalva has recently been putting up some weak poll numbers in a heavily Democratic district and is under fire from conservative groups over his call for a boycott of Arizona.

To help save the party from an embarrassing defeat, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee went up on the air with a TV ad targeting Grijalva's opponent, Republican Ruth McClung.

The ad hits McClung for supporting a "new national sales tax" and "tax breaks for corporation shipping jobs overseas."

It started airing on Saturday. The DCCC had previously only had reserved TV airtime in the district starting on Oct. 26, according to a Republican strategist who tracks Democratic ad buys.

1. Whatever it takes to get the crazy repubs GONE in this state.

I'm all for it.

[Bobbieo]

2. I am so for Raul Grijalva - one of the best Congressmen in the nation -

but I do so wish he had never uttered the words "Boycott Arizona" in response to our racist governor and her Immigration stance. - DAMN!!!

6. Yeah, that was a gaffe on his part for sure

I am boycotting AZ and many, many others are but a representative of the state kind of needs to stay out of that snake pit.

[Bobbieo]

8. Again - DAMN - he should be a natural, but for that "heat of the moment statement".

[tavalon]

9. Yeah, it was a statement that had to be made

But not by him.

3. Grijalva makes me proud--I'm sending a donation down south tonight. nt

[SargeUNN]

4. I agree he is a good Representative

He would be a big loss.

5. Fucking brilliant. Boycott my constituents.

It should have been a cakewalk. Now he's sucking resources from other Democrats.
