The DSCC has launched a new attack ad against Tea Party extremist, Richard Mourdock (R. IN), by using his own words. Mourdock's plan in the Senate: eliminate the Department Of Education:

It starts with a clip of Mourdock himself saying, “In my plan, I specifically started by eliminating the Department of Education.”
The ad then jumps to two narrators describing the fallout.
“Richard Mourdock actually wants to eliminate the Department of Education,” one says.
“That means no federal college loans,” the other says.
The narrators then alternate point by point.
“No Pell Grants. More than $5 billion less for Indiana schools and students. Mourdock then wants another big tax cut for millionaires. The rich get richer. While our kids pay the price. That’s the Mourdock plan. And is that what we want for Indiana?” they say. - The Hill, 10/5/12

Mourdock unseated Republican incumbent, Dick Lugar in the GOP primary however the Tea Party doesn't get credit for unseating Lugar. Lugar took himself down when Indiana voters realized he wasn't living in the very state he represented for 35 years. Lugar pulled a Rick Santorum and now he's out. Mourdock's campaign was very weak early on the primary and was struggling to gain any traction. Lugar's residency turned out to be Mourdock's winning opportunity. With Mourdock as the nominee, the race is now toss up between him and moderate Democratic congressman, Joe Donnelly. Donnelly has been endorsed by the AFL-CIO and has a two point lead in the latest Howey/Depauw Indiana Battleground poll, 40 to 38. We have to keep the Senate in our control and even though Indiana is a red state, we can't afford another tea party extremist contributing to the GOP obstruction. Save the Department of Education, contribute to Donnelly's campaign now:
