The ad targets Bayh for shamelessly corrupt behavior that helped him amass a personal fortune, including his votes for hire scandal and his lunch with financial industry lobbyists on the day he voted to bail out Wall Street. The ad begins running statewide today.
“Evan Bayh was a Hoosier once, but he’s all Washington now. Bayh used his position to build a fortune on the backs of Hoosier families and he didn’t even wait until he was out of office to start cashing in. Corrupt, deceitful, and out of touch – Evan Bayh is everything people hate about politicians.” – NRSC spokesman Greg Blair
