video: NEW: Cicilline Commercial Links Brendan Doherty & Mitt Romney
Tuesday, September 25, 2012
A new campaign commercial released by Congressman David Cicilline takes Republican candidate Brendan Doherty to task for saying he believes Presidential candidate Mitt Romney would be “fantastic” for Rhode Island.
The 30-second spot features Doherty praising the former Massachusetts Governor earlier this year. Last January, Doherty campaigned with Romney in Rhode Island.
The ad also outlines areas where Romney and Doherty agree on policy – including their support for repealing President Obama’s historic health care reform law, as well as their mutual opposition to reproductive freedoms for women and the Buffett Rule that would require millionaires to pay at least the same tax rate as the middle class.

In fact, he thinks Romney would "be fantastic for Rhode Island,’” said Cicilline campaign manager Eric Hyers. “Rhode Islanders will have a clear choice this November between re-electing President Obama and Congressman Cicilline so we can get our state back on the right track, or voting for Mitt Romney, Brendan Doherty, and the Washington Republicans who got us into this mess to begin with.”
