* Labor launching major ad buy slamming House Republicans: Unions are going up with a very hard hitting ad telling seniors that they may not get their next Social Security check — and placing the blame directly on House GOPers who have brought us to the brink of default. Here’s the spot targeting GOP Rep. Dean Heller:

<...>

“If the check you or your family depends on doesn’t arrive, thank Congressman Heller,” the ad says, suggesting a stark framing that national Dems might have employed a bit more aggressively from the outset of this fight.

The six figure buy — which is also targeting Reps Bobby Schilling, Steve King, Chip Cravaack, Denny Rehberg, Ann Marie Buerkle, Lou Barletta, and Eric Cantor — is paid for by the SEIU, AFSCME, the NEA, and Americans United for Change.

1. Great, but don't you think we need one for Michele Bachmann?

That would be sterling.
