The political ad begins with classical music playing, then a picture of Republican U.S. Rep. John Sullivan.

A voiceover says, "Career politician. Member of an exclusive country club."

Flash to a shot of Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa.

The kicker: "John Sullivan: the country club congressman."

So goes the recent television ad by Tulsa businesswoman Georgianna Oliver. She's a conservative Democrat whose campaign is looking to paint Sullivan as someone who's been in office too long and votes with his party 95 percent of the time.
