| Description | "Republican Tom Smith’s upstart Senate campaign in Pennsylvania is up with a new ad portraying Democratic Sen. Bob Casey as an empty chair.
The ad, titled “Invisible Senator,” plays on Clint Eastwood’s much-maligned convention speech, in which he spoke to an empty chair that he pretended was President Obama. It attacks Casey, now running for his second term, as a career politician who has failed to accomplish anything substantial over the last six years.
“America’s troubles are mounting,” says a female narrator as ominous music plays. “Yet career politician Bob Casey voted for higher taxes, to slash Medicare, and in six years, hasn’t passed a single bill – not even to create jobs in the worst economy since the great depression.”
“Casey’s been called the Senate’s most ineffective legislator,” the narrator ads, as the camera zooms in on an empty chair at a desk in Casey’s office. “He’s the invisible Senator.”
