Study: More than half of pets overweight
WASHINGTON, July 6 (UPI) -- The Republican National Committee is airing a TV ad in Ohio and other battleground states against likely Democratic nominee Barack Obama, The Politico said.
The 30-second ad -- being run by an independent-expenditure arm of the RNC -- focuses on the Illinois senator's energy policy at a time when gas prices are skyrocketing, the newspaper reported Sunday.
"Record gas prices, a climate in crisis. John McCain says solve it now. With a balanced plan -- alternative energy, conservation, suspending the gas tax and more production here at home. He's pushing his own party to face climate change," the announcer says.
"But Barack Obama? For conservation, but he just says no to lower gas taxes. No to nuclear. No to more production. No new solutions. Barack Obama: Just the party line. The Republican National Committee is responsible for the content of this advertising."
The ad first aired during Saturday night baseball games, and is airing in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin as well as Ohio. It is scheduled to air through July 15.
