RNC goes on-air with healthcare radio spot

The Republican National Committee (RNC) announced a new radio campaign Friday to target lawmakers in 33 states for their impending votes on healthcare reform legislation in the House and Senate.

The RNC campaign comes on the heels of the Democratic National Committee’s (DNC) sustained offensive to push for President Obama’s healthcare reform efforts, which included a new national television ad blitz this month.

The radio ad builds on the “dangerous experiment” meme RNC Chairman Michael Steele introduced this week in a speech at the national press club, and invokes the stimulus as an allegedly failed initiative of the administration.

The ad begins airing in the 33 states today, though it wasn’t clear which states were excluded from the ad buy.
