Claire McCaskill’s vote makes children suffer from asthma, ad claims

Golly, lobbying groups are going after politicians early this year. And Sen. Claire McCaskill, who, according to most sources, is vulnerable in her 2012 re-election bid, has found herself targeted by the League of Women Voters.

Earlier this month, McCaskill voted for an amendment to a bill that would restrict the Environmental Protection Agency’s ability to limit greenhouse gases. The League, which is nonpartisan but has supported environmental protection for decades, is going after McCaskill with a stark new ad (watch it after the jump) that basically says the senator’s vote is the reason a little girl is stuck inside with a breathing machine.
