Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid blasted the Democratic National Committee Thursday for its decision to run ads against Democratic senators concerned about President Obama's health plan.
On Wednesday, the DNC's "Organizing for America" committee — President Barack Obama’s campaign-in-waiting — announced that it would begin running ads in the home states of Democrats like Byron Dorgan of North Dakota, who has expressed concern about the cost of the legislation.
Asked about the ads, Reid responded: "It's a waste of money."
When a reporter pressed Reid on the matter, he said: "It's a waste of money to run ads from Democrats against Democrats."
Reid said he hadn’t seen the ads himself.
The ads are running on national cable stations and on local networks in Arkansas, Florida, Indiana, Louisiana, Maine, Nebraska,
North Dakota, Ohio — states home to centrist-minded Democrats and Republicans.
The spots do not mention the senators by name. - Politico
