SENATE SNEAK PEEK – LABOR PULLS THE TRIGGER: Pennsylvania Republican Pat Toomey and Illinois Rep. Mark Kirk are in the crosshairs of two union-backed campaign offensives this week. In Pennsylvania, the SEIU plans to announce a $2 million election push that will include an “aggressive” turnout program for Democratic Senate nominee Joe Sestak and gubernatorial candidate Dan Onorato. Half of that sum has already been spent, while the rest will go toward mailings, phone-banking, canvassing and more. In Illinois, the pro-Democratic Working for Us PAC is running a tough ad against Kirk with support from the SEIU and American Federation of Teachers. The ad, produced by Saul Shorr, takes voters on a trip down memory lane and ties Kirk to President George W. Bush. “Let’s go back in time: George Bush was president and Mark Kirk was his yes man,” the narrator recalls. “What did we get? The worst recession in 50 years.” Watch the ad here.
