Here in NEPA there are some new ads in rotation by Carney (D10) and Obama that I find quite interesting. The Carney ad is heavily pro-defense and pro-seal the borders and it has Carney explicitly stating that the threat from terrorism is real.  For those that don't know, Carney's a veteran and this ad really plays that up.  Border security is also linked directly to national security.

The Obama ad has a hunter who says that he's a lifetime NRA member say he's voting for Obama and there's some voiceover work saying that Obama supports the Second Amendment.  The ad then segues into other topics.

I find these very interesting.  There must be some internal polls from the Obama camp showing that the gun thing is hurting him.  The Carney ad is really fascinating since illegal immigration is a huge, huge issue up here.  This is Barletta country, after all.  I was stunned to find out that Carney voted against the bail out.  Last I knew, he was up 10 points.  I wonder if the internals are tightening up.

Does it mean anything?  Hell if I know.  But if NEPA is in play, well, that could be huge.
