If I'm the Obama camp, I just run a loop of Hagel (with the R under his name highlighted), "Do you think this add was a appropriate?" "No, I Do Not." "You do not." "I do not." Followed by a fundraising plea to 'Help us shout down crappy adds like this.."

The problem is:

Will the 'average voter' know the difference? It a classic (mostly GOP but sometimes DEM) smear tactic that sadly but rightfully assumes that people will not do their research.

If nothing else, watching the name confusion at the polls will be entertaining as heck!

The issue here is not that complicated. Everyone in Congress seems prepared to pass the new law with one exception. Telecom immunity. THAT's the real issue.

In that case, call them out on it. It's simple. Take immunity out of the bill. Period. Make it a non-issue by saying in the bill that this issue is not addressed either way (status quo as of now). That issue can be addressed in a separate bill which can be introduced at the same time and subject to debate and an up and down vote.

If the base issue is truly security, then everyone will vote for it and telecom immunity can be fought over later. If the president Vetoes it because there IS no immunity, then we know where the real priority is, and its completely obvious.
