Honestly, I could give a shit about Obama using his lackey groups to attack wavering Democrats. Let them fight it out withing their own ranks once in a while.

he Democratic National Committee's Organizing for America Arm -- criticized by Harry Reid yesterday for an ad pressuring Senate Democrats on health care -- has launched a similar effort in the House.

A version of the same ad, in which citizens recount their families' health care woes and declare that "it's time" for reform, will be running in 15 media markets around the country.

The ad doesn't say this, but a look at the media markets indicates that the White House political operation hasn't backed off targeting Democrats -- and indeed, has stepped up that program. The ad will appear in 15 markets, all of them within districts of members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, the key body for a health care bill. All 15 are occupied by members seen as swing voters inside the committee, and 12 of those 15 members are Democrats.
