Rescue Mission: DSCC Makes Connecticut Ad Buy to Steady Tumbling Blumenthal.

The challenge for Senate Democrats is to allocate resources on a growing number of fronts as other candidates thought to be safe from the rising tide of Republican prospects threatens Democratic control of the Senate. Money spent on the Blumenthal campaign means there is less available for races that were always expected to be close, such as Illinois and Missouri.
The DSCC ads may try provide some contrast to Mr. Blumenthal’s lackluster campaign by stripping some of the bark off Republican Linda McMahon. The Democrat may find himself dodging response ads that, Daily Ructions understands, emphasize issues the Democrat would prefer to avoid. Both sides should prepare for some ugly visuals and ominous voiceovers.
UPDATE: Politico reports the DSCC will spend $300,000 on the Blumenthal buy.

Blumenthal is so afraid to be considered the source of any negative ads that he’s been outright spineless in this campaign. The CT Dem Party created the Mom’s Opposed to McMahon, the National Dem Party sent in TWO PRESIDENTS and now this big ad buy… He’s a political jellyfish…
Senator –
This is about 1% of what the DSCC has on hand – given what is being thrown at Blumenthal, it seems reasonable.
Bring it on. We’ll take your $300, 000 bet and raise you 750
NO BLUMEN WAY buttons!!
