The pro health care reform video below is from the DNC. For the most part, the ad buy is geographically targeted at influential swing vote Democrats in the House. Pelosi isn't likely to complain the way Harry Reid did yesterday over a similar tactic regarding the Senate. It's designed to assist her, as much as it is Obama. Clearly she doesn't have the iron grip we were hearing about a few months back. Not on this issue, anyway. That tells you just how bad this bill really is.
The ad doesn't say this, but a look at the media markets indicates that the White House political operation hasn't backed off targeting Democrats -- and indeed, has stepped up that program. The ad will appear in 15 markets, all of them within districts of members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, the key body for a health care bill. All 15 are occupied by members seen as swing voters inside the committee, and 12 of those 15 members are Democrats.
The markets where the ad will run, according to the DNC press release, are: Savannah, Palm Springs, Seattle, Nashville, Bloomington, Sacramento, Salt Lake City, New Orleans, Pittsburgh, Charlotte, Little Rock, Columbus, Marquette, Grand Rapids and Medford.
Pelosi is a disgrace. She has been a failure from the start. My DOG is smarter than she is.

How about a tax on Pelosi?
Everytime Pelosi lies, she gives a million dollars to reduce the deficit.
That should be worth billions.
