Backfiring Ads

Did a few TV ads in Alabama sway Senator Sessions' vote on the asbestos trust fund? Not according to him. He did admit he got about 115 phone calls about the issue though he claims they were evenly split on the issue. Interesting that the Senate Accountability Project focused their ads in states with Republican senators that supported the bill rather than in states with Democratic senators that supported the bill. It may have been better to have given the money to FreedomWorks and let them lean on the Republican senators from the right... assuming they'd take money from trial lawyers.
