I just saw an ad paid for by the NRCC, attacking Jason Altmire. This is big news people. It means that this race is absolutely on the NRCC's radar screen, and makes Mellisa Hart's claim that her polling shows a double digit lead completely unbelievable. Altmire's 48-44 poll is looking more and more realistic every day.
It is time for the DCCC to pony up some cash and help Jason out!! We can win this seat. This is a majority democratic district (although conservative dem). Altmire is a moderate dem (pro-life, anti gun control) and Hart's first respectable challenger in 6 years. Now that the NRCC has begun spending in PA-04, the DCCC needs to follow suit. And the DailyKos community needs to help out as well. Hart has a 3-1 COH advantage (1.5M - 500,000).
Listen to how rediculous Hart's recent campaign ads are. She has been attacking Altmire for his career as a lobbyist for UPMC Health System, the largest hospital chain in the area. But she refuses to acknowledge her own ties to the Delay/Abarmoff/K-street trifecta. Mellisa Hart's lobbyist charge is akin to having a known sexual pedator chair the House Committee for Neglected and Abused Children. Oh, wait a minute, never mind.
Melissa Hart, 93% with Bush, 96% with house leadership, 100% wrong for the fourth district!
Help Jason Altmire win this seat
