#NVSen: U.S. Chamber Up with New Ad Hammering Berkley for Supporting Obama and Pelosi’s Failed Economic Policies

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that the U.S. Chamber is up with a new ad hammering embattled U.S. Congresswoman Shelley Berkley for supporting Obama and Pelosi’s failed economic policies.  The U.S. Chamber of Commerce weighed in on Nevada’s U.S. Senate race today, debuting a television ad that manages to blast Shelley Berkley and praise Dean Heller in 30 seconds. … In it, a boxer takes punches to the face and to the gut as a crowd boos, dark music plays and a male narrator announces that “Washington continues to hit Nevada job creators.”  “Whose corner is Shelley Berkley in?” it asks, showing Berkley with her mouth open in an unflattering pose while criticizing the Las Vegas Democrat’s vote for health care reform, or “government-mandated health care, which hurts small business.”

Meanwhile, Ethics Committee appoints panel in Berkley case: The House Ethics Committee announced Monday that it had appointed a panel to investigate whether Democratic Rep. Shelley Berkley used her position to benefit her family’s financial interests, giving Republicans additional fodder to question her conduct leading up to November’s election for a Senate seat in a critical swing state.
