Campaign Money Watch

UPDATED 5:24 P.M. 10/13/2008  

A new television ad from the 501(c)4 group Campaign Money Watch blasts Republican U.S. Senate nominee Bob Schaffer as "a war profiteer" and draws ties between Schaffer and big oil companies.

The new ad is part of an ad buy of about $900,000 made by the independent group last week on all Denver broadcast stations.

The new ad, entitled "Deal," is the second ad aired as part of the ad buy. It likely will be the last ad released as part of the current media buy, said Campaign Money Watch Chairman David Donnelly -- though he didn't rule out making future ad buys against Schaffer in the final weeks of the campaign.

Campaign Money Watch is again hitting Republican U.S. Senate nominee Bob Schaffer over a 1999 investigative trip to the Northern Marianas Islands paid for by Jack Abramoff's lobbying firm.

The 527 group made a six-figure television ad buy on all Denver broadcast stations this week, the Colorado Independent reported.
