The National Republican Congressional Campaign Committee is going up on Wednesday with television ads targeting Reps. Kurt Schrader, D-Ore., and Nick Rahall, D-W.Va., over their votes for the 2009 stimulus bill.
In nearly identical ads, the announcer asks, "You know the old saying -- fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. Will Nick Rahall fool you again? Last time President Obamapushed a wasteful stimulus plan, Nick Rahall went along with it -- and we got burned. The economy got worse. Now President Obama is pushing more wasteful stimulus spending."

Both are small two week cable buys, with $14,000 going into the purchasing time against Schrader and $16,000 against Rahall. The ads are similar to ones the NRCC has also run against Reps. Dave Loebsack, D-Iowa, and Mike McIntyre, D-N.C. , and continues the GOP committee's TV campaign against Democrats they believe could be vulnerable next year.
