Dave Aronberg's First Ad of Dem AG Race No Surprise to His Rival

With less than three weeks until the primary, the hotly contested battle for the Democratic attorney general took a turn Thursday as Sen. Dave Aronberg of Greenacres ran the first TV ad of the contest.

The ad stresses Aronbergs opposition to oil drilling and takes a shot at his opponent for the Democratic nod, Sen. Dan Gelber of Miami Beach, bringing up his ties with a law firm that represented BP.

The Gelber campaign expected the ads based on an e-mailsent out on Wednesday afternoon. Here is where things stand, wrote Gelber to supporters. We have won every single newspaper endorsement decisively so, as expected, our opponent went on the air today with even more negative ads.
