VIDEO: Dems say GOP hearts Cheney

Continuing with their focus on the previous generation of GOP leaders, the Democratic National Committee is up with a web ad Wednesday morning that focuses on former Vice President Dick Cheney.

The ad is somewhat comical in nature, titled “GOP [Hearts] Dick Cheney,” and shows several prominent members of the GOP backing Cheney’s consistent public role.

Check it out below. Whatever you think about Cheney, the ad is sort of funny. I wonder, though, what Republicans would like to say Democrats “heart.”

Usual disclaimer about web ads: They are cheap and won’t air on television. So the idea is to make them eye catching so they get picked up on blogs and cable news.
