An upcoming television ad from the conservative Club for Growth targets Sens. Snowe and Voinovich, along with moderate Republican Rep. Amo Houghton of New York. The Voinovich ad shows the senator's photo alongside a French flag, as the voice-over compares France's opposition to the Iraq war with the [sic] Mr. Voinovich's opposition to the Bush tax package. From ABC News's The Note. The newsletter authors say, "Typical, shall we say, subtlety, from the folks at 'The Club.'"
I swear I had no insider knowledge, but while watching a news clip of President Bush at that Boeing plant yesterday I said (sarcastically, I admit) that Boeing would probably announce layoffs this week or next. Well, according to the president of the local machinists union, "The timing for the president's visit couldn't be worse. On Friday, 238 of my members are getting laid off . . . because of lack of work." This was not stellar advance work on the part of the President's political team, I'd say.
The Note, by the way, is shamelessly campaigning for votes for the Webby award, politics division. There are a slew of other categories to vote in, as well, and the elections run through May 23, so you can pick and choose up till then, if you're so inclined.
