Democratic Group Set to Counter GOP Ad Campaign Over Bush Judicial Nominee

[candy331]

WASHINGTON -- A costly advertising war erupted Monday over President Bush's controversial court nominees, with opposing groups vowing to spend at least $1 million each over the next two weeks.

Responding swiftly to advertising from a group that supports Bush's nominees, People for The American Way said it would launch counter commercials.

"We do not intend to let their ads go unanswered," said Ralph Neas. "We're working with the masters of deception and distraction that brought us the Swift Boat smears," he added in a reference to last year's campaign attacks on Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry.

Neas spoke less than an hour after Progress for America, which has strong Republican ties, unveiled a commercial designed to pressure wavering Republicans and help assure quick approval for Bush's judicial nominees.
