The hits keep on coming! The Republican National Committee released today a new ad featuring Senator Clinton’s comments on Senator Obama’s lack of experience from the primaries. The McCain campaign and the RNC by extension are making this election a referendum on Barack Obama. If they can keep this theme going it is likely that come November, McCain will carry the day.
The ad is a 30-second spot and is set to run during coverage of the Democratic National Convention. The RNC’s independent expenditure arm is going on the air with their second ad of the cycle, resurrecting one of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s sharpest critiques of Barack Obama from the primary.
Brad Todd, the GOP adman who is heading the IE effort, said that it will be up in “major markets in Colorado, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio and western Pennsylvania” through Sunday.
Included in that is a broadcast and heavy cable buy in Denver, Todd noted. The total ad buy is between $2 million and $2.5 million. The McCain had made $6 million ad buy during the two week long Olympics. This is almost half that amount for four days.
