Good Ad, using President Obama in HI Gov race

[WI_DEM]

AND IN HAWAII: The DGA’s ad wields the president’s enduring home-state popularity against Lt. Gov. Duke Aiona, using a clip of the Republican insisting his election would be a “knockout punch” for the White House. The DGA’s narrator begins: “President Obama is working hard to create jobs, improve health care and educate our children. But what is Duke Aiona’s plan?” Then, it cuts to Aiona: “Hawaii is the home state of Barack Obama,” he says, “and what better way to at least get that knockout punch?” Former Democratic Rep. Neil Abercrombie is viewed as the favorite in this race, but as in South Carolina there are indications that the contest has tightened and the RGA has run multiple ads for Aiona. The DGA’s signoff line casts Aiona as an opponent of the national Democratic agenda, saying: “Politics as usual will not educate our children, create jobs or improve health care in Hawaii.” Watch the ad here. http://bit.ly/bmfNch
