2010 - U.S. House of Representatives - Anti-Glenn Nye - "Clout", 2010-01-01 - 2010-12-31

This political advertisement is sponsored by the national Republican congressional committee and criticizes Democrat Glenn nye. The ad alleges that nye failed to use his influence in congress to retain aircraft carriers at Norfolk, which is an issue of significant local importance, as the relocation could potentially cost Virginia 11,000 jobs. The ad further criticizes nye and Nancy Pelosi for passing the stimulus package, linking it to a 14% rise in unemployment. The overarching theme of the message is a portrayal of nye as an ineffective leader with insufficient clout in congress, holding him accountable for job losses and increased unemployment in Virginia.
