Smith on air again in GOP Senate race

Republican U.S. Senate candidate Tom Smith is using that cash advantage to try to distance himself from his GOP rivals -- he was the first of the (now eight?) candidates in the race on air, and now he's back with another on the "Obama-Casey" national debt.

Fellow candidate Steve Welch, meanwhile, has released a new web video on Obama.

The party's state committee meetings -- featuring an endorsement in the race -- are the weekend of Jan. 27-28.
