McCain releases another economic ad

For the second time in the last two days, the McCain camp has released a TV ad on Wall Street's current troubles. In the ad, which the campaign says will run nationally, McCain serves as the narrator.

Note: Critics might seize on the kicker in the ad: "Experience and leadership in a time of crisis." While the word "crisis" was the title of yesterday's TV ad, it doesn't necessarily square with McCain's "the fundamentals of our economy are strong" line.

Script:
MCCAIN: The economy is in crisis. Enough is enough. I'll meet this financial crisis head on.
Reform Wall Street. New rules for fairness and honesty. I won't tolerate a system that puts you and your family at risk.
Your savings, your jobs ... I'll keep them safe.
ANNCR: Experience and leadership in a time of crisis.
MCCAIN: I'm John McCain and I approved this message.
