Hotline blog
has put up this ad from the Ohio Democratic Party:

as part of this post on the DeWine-Brown U.S. Senate race:
http://hotlineblog.nationaljournal.com/archives/2006/07/dems_dewines_in.html
The ad ends with an on-screen exhortation to "Call Mike DeWine" with a
phone number. It never says vote for Brown or against DeWine. What
sources of money can the Ohio Democratic Party, post-BCRA, use to fund
this ad that it could not use if it included express advocacy against
DeWine? There must be some reason for the sham "Call Mike DeWine"
language.
