MI, OH, WI: Obama campaign ad responds to RNC energy spot
5:31 PM
Barack Obama's campaign said it's begun running a TV ad in response to an RNC spot that says the presumptive Dem presidential nominee is taking "the party line" on energy policy.
Obama's campaign said the ad will run in Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, the same four states where the RNC spot touting McCain's energy plan is running.
The spot says McCain is part of the problem on gas prices, adding he and President Bush support a drilling plan that won't lower oil prices for seven years and would give more tax breaks to "big oil." It also says he voted with Bush 95 percent of the time.
The ad says Obama would seek to raise mileage standards, fast track technology for alternative fuels and implement a $1,000 tax cut to "help families as we break the grip of foreign oil."
