Obama's Tax Cut Ad; RNC Ad Blasts Bailout Plans

First, here's Barack Obama's most extensive ad to date on his middle class tax cut -- a two minute video featuring, to camera, talking about the economic crisis. It will air nationally and in states.


The counter comes from the Republican National Committee's independent expenditure message unit.




This 30 second spot will air in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin -- and Indiana, marking the most time that either the campaign or the RNC saw fit to run spots there. The IE unit says it will spend approximately $5 million on these ads.   Here's evidence that the RNC and the McCain campaign aren't coordinating messages: the RNC's ad blasts the bailout plan -- the same bailout plan that McCain was working the phones to support.
