Republican Dan Debicella portrays U.S. Rep. Jim Himes, D-4th District, in a TV ad released today as “a rubber stamp” for “the failed policies of the past two years.”
It is illustrated with the obligatory unflattering photo of Himes, as well as a shot of the incumbent side by side with Sen. Christopher Dodd. Interestingly, there is no mention of Barack Obama or even the Democratic majority, just an oblique reference to “past two years.”
Here is the script:

A stimulus package that has done nothing to reduce unemployment.
