Imagine my shock.
GOP strategist cut Bloomberg gun-group ads
http://www.politico.com/story/2013/05/mike-murphy-bloomberg-gun-group-ads-91893.html
The ads that New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s gun group has run defending Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) and criticizing Sen. Mark Pryor (D-Ark.) were cut by GOP strategist Mike Murphy, sources familiar with the spots said.
Murphy’s ads come on the heels of DCI Group leading the work for Mayors Against Illegal Guns’s spots against Democratic Senators.
A MAIG spokeswoman confirmed Murphy shot the anti-Pryor spot POLITICO reported on this week. Sources familiar with the ads said Murphy, who worked on Mitt Romney’s 2002 Massachusetts governor’s race and Meg Whitman’s California governor’s race in 2010, also cut the spots defending Toomey.
Toomey was a linchpin in the compromise on expanded background legislation and other measures that failed in the Senate a few weeks ago.
Bloomberg has spent millions of his fortune on the ads, including $12 million ahead of the failed Senate vote. He and his aides have indicated they will continue to spend.
His longtime Democratic ad-maker, Bill Knapp, is filming the spots against GOP targets, such as Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake, for the group.
