Obama Radio Ad: McCain And His Lobbyist Buddies Caused Ohio To Bleed Jobs

By http://tpmelectioncentral.talkingpointsmemo.com/profile/kleefeld">Eric Kleefeld - August 8, 2008, 1:09PM

The Obama campaign has launched a direct attack right at John McCain and his lobbyist connections, blaming those connections for job losses in a new radio ad blitzing the big industrial swing state of Ohio.

"But there's something John McCain's not telling you: It was McCain who used his influence in the Senate to help foreign-owned DHL buy a U.S. company and gain control over the jobs that are now on the chopping block in Ohio," the announcer says.

"And that's not all: McCain's campaign manager was the top lobbyist for the DHL deal...helped push it through. His firm was paid $185,000 to lobby McCain and other Senators."

10. Now that's the way to counterpunch

I have faith in BHO, Axelrod and Plouffe. They've been right so far, and this shows that they haven't lost their touch.

11. That's excellent.

I hope the Obama campaign is considering including this issue in a broader, national attack on McCain's credibility. Plenty of other issues that could be used.
