Indianapolis - A sure sign of the season - political commercials - are popping up on Indiana airwaves.
Paid actors and a dancing appendix are both on display during this year's congressional elections in Indiana. One opponent wants long-time incumbent Dan Burton to step down because of an accusation that his campaign is paying out of state actors to endorse him.
"Most of those guys in Washington forget about the people. Not Dan. He's one of us," a man says in an advertisement for Burton.
His opponent, Luke Messer, is taking issue with the commercial.
"I've never seen paid actors paid to provide a testimonial and I think it reflects on this congressman's leadership," Messer said.

Let the infighting begin!
