AFL-CIO, veteran knock McCain on Iraq on TV

The AFL-CIO's Ohio local is up with a television ad attacking John McCain's Senate record, tying him to President Bush. The ad began airing yesterday.

State Rep. Josh Mandel (R-Lyndhurst), an Iraq war veteran, responded on behalf of the Ohio Republican Party yesterday in a statement.

"This ad continues the long line of smears and distortions coming from the Obama campaign and its partisan allies.  It's clear that Barack Obama's call for a new kind of politics is nothing more than empty rhetoric from a typical politician.  The Obama campaign represents politics as usual, but John McCain has always worked in a bipartisan fashion to put his country first," Mandel said.
