New American Crossroads Bennet ad is up

Last week Michael Bennet debuted a montage-syle ad taking snippets of Buck comments, largely out of context, to try to paint Buck as an extremist. Did anyone from the Bennet camp ever actually listen to the tape of Buck’s alleged eliminate the Department of Education gaffe?  I don’t think so.  

It did not take American Crossroads long to introduce Bennet’s latest gem “trillions in debt and nothing to show for it” which he recently shared, shedding light on the result of his job performance, in Greeley last week.

Two themes emerge.  Bennet does not dare talk about the issues or his job performance.  Instead he tries to demonize his opponent.  Good luck at making that stick.  If you have to make up stuff which can easily be shown to be not true, Buck comes off better, Bennet comes off worse. (see, Romanoff Birthday invite story).

Buck, or more precisely those acting in his interest, plan on tying Bennet to Obama’s agenda and the economy.

Does anyone think that Bennet’s strategy is a winning strategy?

Apparantly Ken Salazar, who was out helping Michael Bennet this weekend,does not think it has so far.  He has been comisserating with Bennet about how he started off as an underdog in his race too, according to the Post.
