American Crossroads Releases Ad in CD-17
American Crossroads, the national group with ties to former Bush White House advisers Karl Rove and Ed Gillespie (and $7 million from Houston homebuilder Bob Perry) that's targeting Democrats across the country, released an new ad slamming U.S. Rep. Chet Edwards for his support of President Barack Obama. The spot plays clips of Edwards praising Obama during the 2008 presidential elections, while citing statistics about unemployment and the budget deficit.

Is there a story here? A political candidate runs an ad at election time. Why is that a story? I haven't seen any story about George Soros paying for an Edwards ad?
