Show most of the negative coming from Republican outside groups, including the crossroads GPS, founded by Karl Rove and other top Republican strategists and the National Republican Congressional Committee.

Expenditure for show, which the right to remain silent had steeply after last autumn presidential election - only $ 4 million $ issued since then been according to Kantar, including $2.5 million to show, which the law are critical and $1.5 million on show to promote it. New negative ads coming from Republican political candidate like the former Governor Mark Sanford of South Carolina, who last month won a by-election for a seat in the House, and from conservative interest groups such as Americans for prosperity.

North Carolina Americans for prosperity, a new 30-second ad has "a new day" in North Carolina celebrates policy because "a fresh harvest of the leader", "bring conservative reform."

"We know given what comes in the implementation of the law, that more voters might affect it decisions in 2014 as yet in 2010 or 2012," she said. "We will see a democratic advertising, however, I'm sure." Democrats have to talk about. It will be implemented, they can't ignore it. You have tried to see the bright side of it."
