Obama steps up anti-McCain message in his TV ads

Obama steps up anti-McCain message in his TV ads

By JIM KUHNHENN, Associated Press Writer
41 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - Barack Obama stepped up his hard-edged ad campaign Wednesday, launching two tough commercials against Republican presidential rival John McCain.

One ad, aimed at the most competitive states, criticizes McCain's economic policies as a boon to corporations. The other, meant for Atlanta voters, sought to exploit a fundraising connection between McCain and a political strategist linked to convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

<...>

Obama began striking back last week with ads against McCain in selected markets, not throughout the 18 states where he has focused most of his ad buys. The campaign also did not announce these ads as broadly as it has with others, giving them a stealthy feel.

Obama aired about 10,000 spots last week, including 9,000 against McCain, according to Evan Tracey, who tracks political ads as head of TNS Media Intelligence/Campaign Media Analysis Group.

<...>

But while the ads might neutralize McCain's anti-Obama ads, they also could undermine Obama's image as a new style of politician who rejects divisive politics.

4. Thx, but I'm curious as to why these aren't in one logical place on his site...
Or am I just missing it? Even John Kerry had this.

5. 100 years of draft would put the fear of God into the electorate!

DRAFT in BIG LETTERS

I thought about putting a huge banner over the freeway here

McCain wants YOU for the DRAFT - 100 years!
