If you live in Flagstaff, Ariz., or Fayetteville, N.C., and you Google the term “How do I enroll in Obamacare?” the top result you’ll see is for howobamacareworks.org, a link that will direct you to a permanent “404 error” message that just happens to incorporate President Obama’s 2008 campaign logo. The message: “Obamacare doesn’t work at all.”
That parody ad, and its sister site, Living Under Obamacare, are both projects of the National Republican Congressional Committee, who is running Google Ad campaigns in seven House districts currently held by Democrats. Those seven districts, dubbed by the NRCC as the “Red Zone,” are: WV 03, GA 12, NC 7, MN 7, UT 4, AZ 1, and AZ 2.
