DSCC releases new ad targeting Smith
By Britten ChaseThe Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee released a new radio ad Monday tying U.S. Sen. Gordon Smith (R-Pendleton) with U.S. Sen. Ted Stevents (R-Alaska), who was indicted last week on charges of concealing hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of improper gifts.
“Smith has voted repeatedly for Stevens’ pet projects, including the 'Bridge to Nowhere,'” the ad says. “He’s wasted hundreds of millions of our tax dollars winking at corruption, wasteful spending and special interest influence. That’s how it works in Senator Smith’s cozy club.”
Smith had received $10,000 from Stevens for his re-election campaign this cycle, but after Stevens was indicted Smith said he was going to give the money to charity. In total he has received $39,000 from Stevens during his time in the Senate.
Smith's political action committee, Impact America, also gave money to Stevens to, including $10,000 shortly after it became public knowledge that Stevens was under investigation, according to Federal Election Commission files.

Quote of the Day
September 3, 2008
"There are some folks in the Republican Party that are perturbed with Gordon because he is independent and he’s spoken his mind," he said. "I’ve seen some people get cranky. I end up mediating, but if I think someone is out of line I will call them out on it."
– State Republican Party Chairman Vance Day on his mediation between more conservative members of the party and Republican U.S. Sen. Gordon Smith, who s considered a moderate.
