Super PAC's have already started the assault on Jim Matheson, hitting him hard on healthcare reform.

The Daily Caller got hold of an ad that will start running this week from the "Now or Never" super PAC. The ad blasts Matheson for voting against the repeal of the Affordable Care Act. You can see it below.

The ad is being run by It’s Now or Never Inc., a super PAC that is focusing on “focusing on fiscally conservative issues, and specifically candidates who are supportive of a national balanced budget amendment,” executive director Jason Smith explained to The Daily Caller.

Right now, the group is focused on House and Senate candidates in Arizona, Utah, Nevada, Texas and New Mexico, but Smith said the super PAC hopes to expand beyond that.

Matheson can look forward to more ads from the super PAC as the campaign heats up.

“This is just the beginning,” Smith said. “Obviously as voters start to pay more attention for the race, we’ll continue to focus in on it as well.”

For those that think Rep. Matheson helped fight "ObamaCare" when it passed, think again.

Look at what votes he made the last week prior that helped set up what happened Sunday March 21, 2010. For those that wanted the bill to pass, he voted against it, for those that wanted it to fail, he voted to suspend the rules so it could pass. Time to vote Rep. Matheson out.

http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2010/ROLL_100.asp

Look at votes 129, 130, as well as votes 159, 160, 162 and 163

He did the same thing months before:

http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2009/ROLL_800.asp

Look at votes 881, 882, 884, 885, 886, 887

Jim Matheson votes with Nancy Pelosi when she needs the vote. in 2010 There were 39 democrats that voted to stay and vote about the "Bush" Tax cuts. One more and they would not have left without discussing it. Yes, Matheson wrote a letter saying he wanted the cuts, but then he voted with Nancy Pelosi to dismiss and not discuss it. One vote would have made the difference. It did and it was Matheson voting with Nancy Pelosi, and not representing Utah.

One of the unanswered questions is can groups, such as the NRA (National Rifle Association) and the Chamber of Commerce afford to endorse against the re-election of Congressman Jim Matheson.

Matheson has towed the line of the NRA and Chamber of Commerce on the issues affecting their interest before Congress. To maintain the appearance of bipartisanship, these organizations need to endorse and support some Democrats.

Jim Matheson has the distinction of being the only Democrat currently being financially supported by the Chamber of Commerce. The NRA certainly does not want to oppose Jim Matheson since he publicly supported the NRA and its call for punitive actions against Eric Holder for his alleged contempt of Congress.

Matheson should use the support of conservative organizations in portraying Mia Love as being "too conservative" to serve in Congress.
