The Charlie Crist for Senate campaign is going up on the air today, releasing its first TV ad.
The campaign says they have made a “significant buy” in Florida for the ad, which is titled “Different.”
The Crist campaign has previously released radio and web ads, but this is the first television buy.
While Governor Crist has raised millions of dollars, he’s running behind in the polls to former speaker of the Florida House Marco Rubio (R).
A TV ad this early in the election cycle is a measure of that weakness in the polls, however it is also a testament to the Crist warchest.
Here’s the script of the ad:
CRIST:Iām Charlie Crist and I approve this message.
ANNOUNCER:We thought he was different. Ideologically pure.Marco Rubio shot to national stardom.
Called “The Republican Obama.”
Now, comes the truth. Rubio was a registered lobbyist. His income skyrocketed while his power increased …
He looks awfully like a veteran insider who manipulated the system”
Rubio used Republican political donations on his lavish lifestyle.
Then, failed to properly disclose it, violating the law…Marco Rubio, How Disappointing.
