Electoral Picture Pages

From the Politico: Republican Senator Gordon Smith (Oregon) produced a new television ad with the following line:
"Who says Gordon Smith helped lead the fight for better gas mileage and a cleaner environment? Barack Obama."


The ad shows Senator Obama's face and an image from Obama's website. Further, the ad closes with Senator Smith saying, "I approve working together across party lines and this ad." You can watch the ad here.

Senator Smith was an early supporter of Senator John McCain. However, his present lack of support means Oregon will be blue in November. This ad also undercuts the Republican argument that Obama has no bipartisan accomplishments.
