Looks like Wulsin supports "recycling"

If you tune in tonight to watch the Iowa caucus results (because, you know, what else would you watch?!) pay attention because you might see Democrat Victoria Wulsin's "new" TV ad.

Except it's not really totally "new." Turns out the ad uses video from an old Wulsin ad that ran in 2006. But it has a "new" audio track, some new images and a new message. As her campaign spokesman Josh Levin put it in an e-mail, "It's a new cut."

"We wanted to capture the caucus-night audience, and were able to put this together quickly," he explained.

Hey, no sweat. We all support recycling. And it makes sense: Wulsin is running in the same district against (likely) the same opponent. (Although that could be like wearing the same dress to the same party two years in a row... Not that we notice these kinds of things...)

Wulsin is running in the 2nd Congressional District, where she could once again challenge Republican Rep. Jean Schmidt. (Schmidt faces two GOP challengers in the primary - Phil Heimlich and Tom Brinkman.)

Back to her ad.

It's called "Pledge" and it's about health care. Basically, Wulsin is pledging to refuse the health care plan offered to members of Congress until Congress "does its job and passes affordable health care for all."

Wulsin’s pledge takes after a similar one that Gov. Ted Strickland made when he first ran
for Congress in 1992. While he was in Congress, Strickland mailed a check every month to the U.S. Treasury to pay for his health coverage. In the ad, Wulsin promises to do the same.
