Political Ads Of The Week: July 30, 2010

The Huffington Post   Jeremy Binckes   First Posted: 7/30/10   Updated: 5/25/11

The gloves came off in the political ad spectrum this week (that is, if they were ever on to begin with).

Sharron Angle blamed Sen. Harry Reid (D- Nevada) for the economic meltdown, who in return marveled at her running ability. Republicans blamed President Barack Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for a plot to take over America.

Jeff Greene and Kendrick Meek traded barbs over who was less corrupt. Even Joe the Plumber got a right hook in.

While this barrage of nastiness may hurt the nation's political discourse, it sure makes for some awesome advertising. Why think about November when you can have the best ad of the week?

Ronald Dworkin: The "Devastating" Decision

President Obama is right, the Citizens United decision will further weaken the quality and fairness of our politics, as well as hand already-overpowered lobbyists a nuclear weapon for influencing policy.
