Two Democratic congressional campaigns have new television ads out this week. First, here's a spot from 18th District candidate Colleen Callahan hitting Republican opponent Aaron Schock over "Notarygate":
As we noted in the Early Bird, the state's attorney in Peoria decided not to pursue charges against Schock, citing the statute of limitations and the absence of any evidence of willfull wrongdoing. That being said, Schock's misleading initial explanation -- that it was all just a "clerical mistake" -- deserves some scrutiny.
Second, here's Rep. Bill Foster's new ad in the 14th District:
Like his first TV spot this fall, this one emphasizes "independent solutions" and never mentions the word Democrat.
