From NBC's Domenico Montanaro
In a Web advertisement running on Web sites like Drudge, Beliefnet, the American Prospect and MyDD, the Democratic National Committee is highlighting McCain's gambling after a Sunday New York Times story. The DNC also launched its latest round of gimmickry passing to reporters a package with: phony $100 bills with the image of a tuxedoed, fighter-posing McCain (on the back it reads "In gambling lobbyists McCain trusts"); dice, and chips with McCain's face on it.
