Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has been under fire for days because of his statement that small-town Americans “cling” to guns, religion and bigotry because they are “bitter” about their economic circumstances. But other candidates may be tested by Obama’s “bitter” comments, too.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee is trying to attach Obama’s words to Democratic Senate candidates Al Franken of Minnesota and Mark Warner of Virginia. The NRSC issued a video press release that all but dares them to endorse Obama.
The video releases also target Democratic convention “superdelegates” John Kerry of Massachusetts, Mary Landreiu of Louisiana, Mark Udall of Colorado and Tom Udall of New Mexico.

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is on the political offensive in both Nebraska and New Hampshire, running advertisements against Republican Sen. John Sununu and GOP senatorial candidate Mike Johanns.
The New Hampshire ad portrays Sununu as a crony of President Bush and Sununu as someone who has reliably defended and voted with Bush on issues like the Iraq war. The Nebraska ad characterizes Johanns as a quitter for leaving his role as Agriculture Department secretary to pursue a political seat while Congress is debating legislation to reauthorize farm programs.
