WASHINGTON, Sept. 2 (UPI) -- Democratic U.S. presidential candidate John Kerry is seeking to regain lost ground in the battleground state of Ohio with a new ad campaign.
A new television ad entitled "Economy-Ohio" will start running in the Buckeye state Friday, the Kerry campaign announced Thursday.
"While President Bush thinks the economy is just fine, the ad stresses that America and Ohio can do better than 230,000 Ohio jobs lost and spotlights the Kerry-Edwards plan to create and keep good-paying jobs here in America," the Kerry campaign said.
The ad is part of a massive $50 million advertising buy in battleground states that the Kerry-Edwards campaign announced Wednesday.
The Democrats are seeking to reverse the damage done by a month of attacks on the Massachusetts senator's Vietnam combat record mounted by a group of hostile Vietnam vets who support Bush.
