Air McCaskill: We've Paid Every Dime In Our Taxes

This ad is from 2006. I believe that Air McCaskill's nearly $300,000 in unpaid taxes started being unpaid four years ago, so that would either make this a lie or a statement which was currently true but about to become a lie.

Either way, it's going to be replayed a lot by the Republicans.

Actually, I don't think it will. Air McCaskill was already "very vulnerable" according to pollsters. I think this is fatal. Democrats spend all of their time screwing up people's lives and ruining the economy; their one big selling point is that they "share your values," so at least you know that the people destroying everything that's important to you are from the lower middle class (broadly defined to include the middle upper class).

McCaskill doesn't have that anymore, so her appeal will be strictly on the Destroying America plank. I do not expect her to stand for re-election in 2012; I think she'll wind up dropping out.

But I could be wrong, of course. Blanche Lincoln stuck in there, bless her little loser heart.

Here's the Republican Senate campaign ad:

She says she'll now "sell the damn plane."

In related news, OJ Simpson is going to "sell the damn knife."
