Citizens for Open and Reponsive Government (CORG), an Arkansas-based 527 group, released a new independent ad hitting Barack Obama for what they describe as “slurs” against John McCain. It’s a response to Obama’s ad from a week or so ago hitting McCain for not using a computer—but it soon became clear that McCain doesn’t do much work with computers because his war wounds preclude it. The issue picked up a little extra steam this week when Obama’s running mate, Joe Biden, pronounced the ad “terrible” in an interview and said he would not have run it. (The Obama campaign quickly released a follow-up statement from Biden in which he denounced his denunciation.)
The ad features Lt. Col. Mike Fairhead, a wounded war veteran from Rogers, AR.
CORG Director Carlton Saffa says in a news release that the ad will run in Colorado which has emerged as a key state in the campaign as a potential flipper for Obama.
