Today, the McCain campaign released its latest television ad, called “Original Mavericks.” As the McCain campaign notes, “the ad highlights John McCain’s and Governor Sarah Palin’s record of bringing reform to government so that government fights for the people.”
The ad will be airing on national cable and in key states.
The Obama campaign, clearly desperate to make up all the ground he lost, is not only attacking Palin’s experience, which is far superior to his own, but is questioning her record, and trying to claim that McCain and Palin aren’t the mavericks they claim to be.
Obama attacked Palin, saying she supported the “Bridge to Nowhere.” Of course, what’s interesting about this is that both Barack Obama and Joe Biden voted for the “Bridge to Nowhere.”
But here’s the real kicker… Alaska Democrats actually credited Palin with killing the “Bridge to Nowhere”:
Conservative bloggers point out that in their campaign against Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, Alaska Democrats gave credit to Gov. Palin for helping to kill the Bridge to Nowhere.
“Gov. Sarah Palin said the $398 million bridge was $329 million short of full funding, and only $36 million in federal funds were set aside for it,” the Democrats say. “She said it was clear Congress had little interest in spending any more money for it and that the state had higher priorities.”
On another page the Dems say, “Gov. Palin recently cancelled the Gravina Island Bridge near Ketchikan that would have connected the Alaska mainland with Gravina Island (population: 50).”
After it was revealed that the website, run by the Alaska Democratic Party, was giving Palin the credit she deserved, they attempted to hide the page from public view.
Sad. When Democrats like Obama have no record to run on, they try to distort or hide it.
We’re going to win. Democrats are desperate, and we’re on the path to victory.
UPDATE: Obama supporters urging the vandalism of Sarah Palin’s wikipedia page.
