Claire McCaskill wanted Todd Akin to be her opponent in 2012, so she ran this "attack" ad before the Republican primary: youtube.com/watch?v=ec4…
(She also ran much more standard, black-and-white attack ads against Akin's main rivals, John Brunner and Sarah Steelman; sadly, those ads don't seem to be available online anymore.)
