DNC hits the Oregon airwaves

Although Sen. John McCain failed to include a statement in the Oregon Secretary of State’s Voters’ Pamphlet this weekend, he will be hitting the airwaves in Oregon this week… courtesy of the Democratic National Committee.

The DNC’s new ad, which begins with a clip of the Republican candidate saying he “thinks you could argue that Americans overall are better off - because we have had a pretty good prosperous time,” will play nationally, and will be used at events in Oregon.

The DNC juxtaposes McCain’s statements on the economy with comments gleaned from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, attempting to demonstrate that the Arizona Senator is “out of touch.”
