I think its a fair topic, but the ad doesn’t seem terribly effective. It just says the same thing over and over again. It’s not clear to me that CT voters will care. If these lies were linked to a wider context (Obama: “If you like your healthcare, you’ll be able to keep it”) then showing Blumenthal to be a liar might resonate more.
Proving, over and over again, that blumey is a bald faced liar, has no integrity and will say anything to enhance his position.
The point about which he lied is not in the least bit trivial. This is still a sore spot with a lot of people.
Connecticut has a lot of defense contractors (submarines, helicopters, jet engines). The union-type democrats who make this stuff helped put pro-military Joe Lieberman in office over yuppie-marxist Ned Lamont.
Military honor still carries some weight here in Connecticut. These voters need to be reminded of Blumenthal’s DIShonorable lie. This ad will only tweak a point or two more for McMahon, but she doesn’t need much more.
