WASHINGTON -- The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is making sure as many people as possible see ads by two Republican candidates in Tennessee and Alabama, both running as Washington outsiders, that appear to use the same images and almost identical voiceovers to sell their candidacies.
Tennessee's 8th Congressional District candidate Stephen Fincher, the guy the GOP wants you to know is a gospel singing farmer and political novice, shares the same bucolic backdrop and tractor as Dorman Grace, a candidate for Agriculture Commissioner in Alabama.
We can't take credit for making the connection, but a dispatch from today's The National Journal helps make the case that the frugal Republicans take cost-savings and message discipline seriously.
The GOP is making sure that this candidate-Stephen Fincher--has a positive effect on prospective voters. I wonder who would win in an election like this one.
