From NBC's Mark Murray The Republican National Committee's independent expenditure unit has announced that it will begin airing a TV tomorrow that hits Obama on his ties to Chicago politics -- as well as Tony Rezko and Bill Ayers.
But the ad will run only in the battleground states of Indiana and Wisconsin, which border Illinois.
This advertisement is similar to one the McCain campaign unveiled last month -- although that one didn't mention Ayers.
Script: The Chicago Way. Shady politics. That's Barack Obama's training. His teachers? Tony Rezko convicted of corruption, money laundering, aiding and abetting bribery. Rezko got Obama in on a shady land deal. William Daley. Heir to the Chicago machine. A top Obama advisor. And William Ayers. Leader of a terrorist group that bombed the US Capitol. Obama's first campaign was launched at a gathering at Mr. Ayers's home. There's more you need to know. The Republican National Committee is responsible for the content of this advertising.
