The Surprise Senate Race: How Missouri Became a Key Battleground
http://www.rollcall.com/news/politics/jason-kander-roy-blunt-missouriMost of all, Republicans have resorted to simply calling Kander a Clinton-style Democrat. In one jarring ad from the Senate Leadership Fund, a super PAC with ties to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Kander’s face is shown literally morphing into Clinton’s.
GOP strategists say it’s the best attack Blunt can muster, especially in a red state where the Democratic presidential nominee is as unpopular as Trump. But some have also raised concerns that the strategy is generic.
“The ads mention Clinton’s name as many times as you can, to the point it was almost a parody,” Rupp said. “It was the same ad I would see if I traveled from state to state to state.”
The GOP’s biggest concern about Blunt, however, has been his struggle to beat back the charge that he’s done more to help himself and his family than the average voter.
