RNC To Spend $1 Million In August To Fight Health Care Reform
By Brian Beutler - July 27, 2009, 1:00PM

This is just part of the reason reformers wanted the House and Senate to wrap up their work on health care legislation before recess:

The Republican National Committee will spend nearly $1 million on campaign activities over the next month in an effort to cast doubt on President Obama's proposal to reform health care, a GOP official tells CNN.

The Republican campaign will include television commercials already running in Arkansas, Nevada and North Dakota and new radio ads announced Friday that will air in 33 states.

The RNC did not reveal Friday who the radio ads would target, but CNN has learned the 60 second commercials will run against 60 House Democrats.

The prevailing assumption at the RNC seems to be that the House--like the Senate--will adjourn without voting on legislation. But either way, with cheap media markets in these states, senators like Kent Conrad, Harry Reid, and Blanche Lincoln can look forward to a lot of jockeying along these lines.

Via CNN, you can read the entire list of targeted House Democrats below the fold.
