Sestak’s TV ad likens dog poop to US economic mess

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Democrat Joe Sestak’s cheeky TV ad about dog poop is turning some heads in the fiercely contested Pennsylvania Senate race.

Sestak’s ad compares cleaning up after his family dog “Belle” to cleaning up the economic mess that he says his GOP rival Pat Toomey and former President George Bush played a big part in creating.

Toomey said Monday that Sestak is using the ad to try to duck his own responsibility for the sour economy.

Every election seems to feature at least one memorable ad that manages to break through the heavy clutter of campaign attack ads that flood the television airwaves. Democrats hope Sestak’s dog ad can propel him to a Senate seat.
