MoveOn.org will air a stark television ad that chides GOP members of Congress for, in MoveOn's words, "failing to provide a specific plan" for bringing home U.S. troops from Iraq.
Beginning Monday, the ad will run in the districts of Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-GA), Duncan Hunter (R-CA), Geoff Davis (R-KY), Jack Kingston (R-GA), Steve King (R-IA), Rodney Frelinghuysen (R-NJ), J.D. Hayworth (R-AZ)... and, of course, Rep. Jean Schmidt (R-OH).
Some of these make sense. But Steve King? In the Unwinnable Iowa 5th? Why bother? The only good thing one can say about IA-05 is it makes the other four districts at least theoretically winnable. (It would help if we had a CANDIDATE in the 4th, though.) I can't figure the strategy here, unless the strategy is "make MoveOn feel good by bashing a particularly noxious House member."
