Representative Joe Donnelly, a sophomore Blue Dog Democrat from Indiana’s 2nd district, released a new campaign ad (on the subject of immigration) targeting not George W. Bush or Donnelly’s opponent, Jackie Walorski, but rather “the Washington crowd,” with the ad panning a photograph of President Obama, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and House Minority Leader John Boehner. “I don’t work for them. I work for you,” Donnelly says. (H/T: TalkingPointsMemo)

Indiana, it’s worth recalling, voted for Obama in 2008. Now, less than two years later, Democrats are (implicitly) running against him and the Democratic Speaker. I imagine that Donnelly won’t be the last Democrat to do this between now and November.
