RNC IE: "The Chicago Way"

The Republican National Committee's independent expenditure unit is jumping on the Ayers bridge, launching a new ad in targeted markets that seeks to associate Barack Obama with "Chicago" polls.

Obama's relationship with Tony Rezko, Ayers and former commerce secretary Bill Daley are highlighted.

The ad will air in Wisconsin and Indiana, two states who, by virtue of their geographical proximity to Illinois, are theoretically familiar with the context.
