Ogonowski launches first TV ad

Republican Jim Ogonowski today released the first television ad of the general election in the Fifth Congressional District. The spot, called "Broken Congress," continues his rhetoric of attacking Washington as being "too controlled by special interests and partisan politicians."

The ad starts with a flurry of music and quickly flashing images of two Democrats -- John Murtha and Nancy Pelosi -- and two Republicans -- Randy Cunningham and Tom DeLay. A deep-voiced narrator says "Congress is broken. The answer? Jim Ogonowski." The music then changes to a quiet piano and Ogonowski is pictured on a tractor and in a military uniform. It has no direct reference to his chief opponent, Niki Tsongas, but it ends saying, "Another politician won't change things. Jim Ogonowski will."
