Obama: 'Unravel'

A new Obama ad, airing (at least) in Florida, paints an alarming picture of McCain's health care plan, warning that it could cause viewers to lose their health care.

The campaign hasn't released the ad, or other attacks on McCain's plan, but the Republican National Committee caught it on the airwaves, and RNC spokesman Alex Conant e-mails that “Barack Obama made the deliberate decision to lie about John McCain’s health care plan, and now he’s running attack ads repeating the lies. If Obama announced these ads to the national media, he knows unbiased fact checkers would sharply rebuke him."

A study suggested that McCain's plan would throw millions out of their health care, though millions would also get new coverage. McCain's tax increase, which Obama talks about, is also matched with a tax credit, and only the best-off taxpayers would be likely to see a tax increase immediately.

But McCain's choice to float a plan that would alter the health care of people who are happy with their employer-sponsored plans was a risk that the Democrats strained to avoid, and Obama's trying to make McCain pay for it.

ALSO: Readers say the ad is airing in Pennsylvania, as well.

3. I just saw it here in Springfield, MO....

I have seen 4 Obama ads this morning (2 different ones), and NO McChicken ads. Is McNasty running out of money, or is he holding back? Since MO is a toss-up, I wonder what gives?
Maybe I just am not on the right station at the right time.
