Merkley has new TV ad

Jeff Merkley is in a tight Democratic primary with Steve Novick, and some insiders – maybe even most of them – believe that Republican incumbent Gordon Smith would rather face Novick in the general election. That’s the reason the GOP has been attacking Merkley, and now the House Speaker is responding to a negative TV ad put up by Team Smith.

Novick will rip Smith's head off


It's great if Smith thinks he'd rather run against Novick. That means that Smith is about to make the same mistake Jeff Merkley made: underestimating Steve Novick. He will do so at his peril.
