AS SEEN ON TV: Which Ads Are In Heavy Rotation On Election Eve?

Here are the ads I have seen Sunday/Monday a.m.:

--The Republican State Leadership Committee, through the Business Leaders For Arizona group, is running their anti-Rotellini (AG) ad heavy in the final days.  I saw it aired at least three times in the past 24 hours. 
--The apparently-illegal ad by the Committee For Justice and Fairness/Democratic Attorneys General Association against Horne (AG) is still running.  View it here, and read our coverage elsewhere on this blog.
--Goddard for Governor/. View it here.
--Hulburd vs. Quayle, frat house. View it here.
--Horne vs. Rotellini (2X). View the 15-second spot here.
--NRCC vs. Mitchell (debt clock) (2X).  View it here.
--Mitchell vs. Schweikert (3X).  View it here.
--Quayle, choosing teams (2X).  View it here.
--SuperPAC for America, The Arizona Three.  View it here.
--Cherny vs. Ducey, franchisees.  View it here, fact check here.

WATCH: NEA's New TV Ad Attacking Schweikert; partial Fact Check

Previously, we reported that the National Education Association has spent $650,000 to run an ad in the Phoenix market attacking Republican challenger David Schweikert.  Here is the ad:

The Arizona CD5 race is one of two that the NEA has decided to kick off its campaign ads with (the other in Ohio).

While a fuller Fact Check of the ad will be published later, the citation for the middle claim caught my eye.  Below the graphic that Schweikert "Would Abolish the Department of Education" was a cite for a DCCC (Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee) YouTube from September 21.  It turns out that it is a 21-second clip of Schweikert at a "Fountain Hills Tea Party forum" on September 17.  In it, Schweikert passionately says:
"And now it's time for the tough part. What are you willing to cut?  If I stood up in front of you and say if you love the Department of Education, please don't vote for me.  Because I'm passionately going to try to eliminate those functions of the federal government that are, (a), unconstitutional, and (b), the fact we're bankrupt."
