Update: Digital shakedown.

VIa Daily Caller:

Mayors Against Illegal Guns had been hammering Toomey, a junior senator with an “A” rating from the National Rifle Association, with negative ads in Keystone State. But his latest proposal, which he is co-sponsoring with West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin, has Bloomberg and company singing a different tune.

The coalition’s initial negative ad featured an urgent-voiced narrator who said, “Tell Senator Toomey, don’t protect criminals…Demand action now,” and displayed Toomey’s office phone number. Now the coalition is running a positive ad praising Toomey.

“Senator Toomey understands background checks,” says the ad’s upbeat-sounding narrator.

“They continued their ad buy but switched it from negative to laudatory,” Pennsylvania-based Republican consultant Christopher Nicholas told the Daily Caller.
