The commercial focuses criticism on President Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., for supporting a stimulus plan that hasn't improved the economy, job losses or home foreclosure rates, the ad argues.
"Todd Tiahrt said the bailouts and stimulus were wrong from the start. Now Tiahrt's fighting to stop it," a voiceover states in the ad.
Tiahrt faces a tough primary challenge for the open seat from fellow Republican Rep. Jerry Moran.
The seat is currently held by Republican Sen. Sam Brownback, who is vying for governor in 2010.
A recent poll by SurveyUSA found Moran and Tiahrt statistically tied in the race for the GOP nomination. Democrats lost their top potential candidate for the seat when Democratic Gov. Kathleen Sebelius was tapped to serve as Secretary of Health and Human Services. No major Democrats have stepped forward for the Senate race.
CQ Politics rates the race Republican Favored.

You guys need to update your rating on this one. Why "Republican Favored" ? Do you see anyone on the horizon on the Dem side? And they haven't won a Senate contest since 1936!
