BREAKING: Desperate Gordo tries to cherrypick Dem opponent

Last night Gordon Smith launched a false negative ad attacking Jeff Merkley, sending a clear message that Smith is cheering for Steve Novick to win the Democratic primary. Merkley will be joined by Democratic leaders to respond directly to Smith TODAY at the DemoForum at Kwan's Cuisine, 835 Commercial St. SE, Salem at noon.

Why is Gordon Smith attacking Jeff Merkley alone this time rather than both Merkley and Novick like his last ad?

I don't think there's any doubt but that they've been doing their own polling and know that Merkley is pulling away from Novick. Otherwise why would they bother to spend the money on this new ad? Why not make it generic like the last one? Because of their internal polling!
