September 8th, 2012


Congressman Bruce Braley, the Democrat running for re-election against Ben Lange in Iowa's first congressional district, is the first down ballot candidate to bring the Big Dog to his defense through a TV ad.
The spot, slated to hit Hawkeye TV early this week, employs video from the Democrats' Charlotte convention, with 42 making the case.

Clinton Convention Speech on Medicare Shows up in Iowa Race
Politico
September 9th, 2012


Bill Clinton's full-throated pushback at the DNC of Mitt Romney's and Paul Ryan's line that President Obama "robbed" Medicare to fund Obamacare is the centerpiece of an ad in an Iowa congressional race.
The spot from Rep. Bruce Braley, who supported Obamacare and has been under fire from opponent Ben Lange, uses the Clinton testimonial almost exclusively.
As far as we know it's the first spot anywhere to feature the speech, which, along with Michelle Obama's, was considered a high point of Charlotte.
