The senate candidate who created the Tea Party party in Nevada and could influence the outcome of the election is up with his first web ad. It mentions the dismal unemployment and foreclosure situation in Nevada and calls both Sharron Angle and Harry Reid “career politicians”:

The web ad has just 61 views as of this posting and is unlikely to find its way onto more than a few hundred PC screens but–as was said Monday–the words “Tea Party” will be next to his name on the ballot so Ashjian should not be lightly dismissed.

The pending Nevada Supreme Court case challenging Ashjian’s candidacy is not yet on the docket for a hearing, and a new lawsuit filed against him is unlikely to get him removed from the ballot.

Ashjian has been a controversial figure and numerous Tea Party groups and activists around the state have denounced his candidacy since March. The groups claimed that Ashjian was never part of the Tea Party movement and were concerned he would siphon votes from the GOP nominee and throw the election to Harry Reid.
