Question: Is Grant Ad Being Sneaky?

Issue: Grant campaign ad omits party affiliation: Candidate says point was his bipartisanship/Betsy Russell, Spokesman-Review

Ad: "We need problem solvers in Congress, not problem makers," 1st Congressional District candidate Larry Grant says in the ad, which has been running in the Spokane TV market to reach North Idaho for the past two weeks, as well as in the Boise and Lewiston areas. "My background is not partisan politics, it's business and solving problems, the kind of work I did as vice president at Micron."

Question: Is the a good approach for Grant? Or is he trying to be sneaking by hiding his party affiliation in a Republican state?
