Blackwell's target is the so-called "Obama phone" video unearthed by the Drudge report.
According to Slate, Blackwell wrote the ad, which once again rails at Democrats for literally buying off votes from people in need.
Rather than cherry-pick the message, here it is:
This is it --this is the October surprise. We just need to get this ad on television today. Will you help us?
This commercial is a microcosm of the difference between Republicans and Democrats. Republicans want to create an environment where free people make their own choices and pursue their dreams. President Obama and Democrats want to create a dependency on government that ensures that Americans will continue to rely on Washington from cradle to grave.
What this lady said is so offensive because it's so blatant - she finally comes out and says what we all know that the Democrats really think. That's why this ad is so damaging to the president in Ohio.
Let me tell you something. I'm from Ohio. I was elected statewide as the Secretary of State and Ohio State Treasurer - the ad is effective. If swing voters in this state see this ad, they simply will not support President Obama, and he will lose Ohio.
There are too many weird assumptions to address in the ad, which is supposed to run in Summit, Lucas and Mahoning Counties. But if Blackwell has cast his lot as a Tea Party huckster, he obviously is blind to the sort of racist stuff that turns up on some of the signs at the teabagger rallies.
P.S.. The only October surprise , Ken, is that you probably got paid to write this.
