A new Republican Party ad called “Chicago Way” whacks Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) for his ties to “political boss William Daley,” shown in sinister black and white.

“William Daley: Heir to the Chicago machine,” the narrator says. “A top Obama adviser.”

But, wait. Is this William Daley fellow really so bad?

He hasn’t always been. Back in 1997, one John McCain, now titular head of the party buying the ad attacking Daley, called Daley “an experienced, talented individual,” when he was confirmed as Commerce Secretary under President Bill Clinton.

Strange Bedfellows: McCain Touts Endorsement by Head of Annenberg Foundation
In John McCain's newest Web ad, he attacks Barack Obama for supporting a "radical education foundation" that gave millions to "idealogical allies" that resulted in scant improvement in the quality of public schools.

He was referring to the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, detailed by my colleagues in this EdWeek story and this sidebar story.

McCain, who has criticized Obama for his ties to William Ayers, one of the founders of Chicago's Annenberg project, is now associating with the very foundation that funded the "radical" work.

His campaign sent out a press release listing all of the former U.S. ambassadors who support him.
