Kagan, Sotomayor, Wood Targeted In Ads
The Judicial Confirmation Network has launched three new online ads and a Web site targeting three of President Obama's reported Supreme Court short-listers: appellate judges Diane Wood and Sonia Sotomayor and Solicitor General Elena Kagan.
The videos -- one for each potential nominee -- offer a glimpse into what conservatives could use as ammo if one of these three is the president's first high court pick. The Web site www.obamasfrontrunners.com, which launched today, asks visitors to vote for "which frontrunner is the worst liberal judicial activist," a common theme in criticism from the right.
The ads are not actually running on TV or radio; they are primarily serving to drive traffic to the organization's Web site, according to a group spokesperson.
