A day after the Washington Post reported that the McCain campaign was preparing negative attacks on Obama -- and after Palin said Obama was "palling around" with '60s radical Bill Ayers -- the Obama campaign has released a new TV ad calling McCain "erratic" in dealing with the economic crisis and "out of touch" when it comes to the economy.
Video:
As the economy worsened, so has Sen. John McCain's poll standings. But as NBC's Lee Cowan tells us, in politics, a month can seem like a year.
"No wonder," the announcer says, "his campaign’s announced a plan to 'turn a page on the financial crisis'…distract with dishonest, dishonorable 'assaults' against Barack Obama."
Script:
ANNCR: Three quarters of a million jobs lost this year.
Our financial system in turmoil.
And John McCain? Erratic in a crisis. Out of touch on the economy.
No wonder his campaign’s announced a plan to “turn a page on the financial crisis”…distract with dishonest, dishonorable “assaults” against Barack Obama.
Struggling families can’t turn the page on this economy…and we can’t afford another President who’s this out of touch.
Barack VO: I’m Barack Obama and I approve this message
