VIDEO: NRSC launches dramatic web ad on Dem super majority

The National Republican Senatorial Committee is up with a, well, somber web ad on Democrats now having a filibuster proof 60 vote majority in the Senate.

The ad features string music and images of Minnesota Senator-elect Al Franken, the Democrats’ 60th vote, gesturing emphatically.

“The Democrats have total Control,” scrolls across the screen. “No Checks. No balances.”

“In 2010, you can hold them accountable. Vote Republican.”

Franken is set to be sworn in on Tuesday.

Of course the usual web ad disclaimer applies here. These ads are cheap and won’t air on television. So, producers try to make them eye-catching so they get picked up on blogs, like this one, and earn other free media.

The ad is certainly dramatic – maybe melodramatic? What do you think? Sound off in the comments section below.
