Kennedy’s second ad

Republican Congressman Mark Kennedy has his second tv ad up and running. The thirty second ad shows Kennedy talking about how he supports the GOP on issues like taxes and spending but goes on to highlight his differences with the party. He also talks about his work with Democrats.

The ad is interesting because he continues the "independent theme" that was brought up in his first ad. As many of you know, Kennedy votes with President Bush about 90% of the time.

The independent theme is a trend among GOP candidates nationwide (see earlier daily digest post). Kennedy is running for Minnesota's open U.S. Senate seat.
