The RNC is beginning the expected onslaught of anti-Obama ads, and if Obama hopes to win in November his retort better be just as strong. Here’s a new video from the RNC attacking Obama on energy:
This is an area that I think Obama is really vulnerable in, not because McCain is all that impressive on energy policy but because he risks important moderates. McCain’s “Maverick” status is pretty questionable nowadays but his stance on energy reinforces the idea that John McCain is different than other Republicans, specifically it separates him from the current president. Obama has to react quickly before McCain attracts fringe voters sick of gas prices approaching $5.
McCain will start getting tough on Obama from here on out, if obama thinks that the ride has been bumpy so far he better hold on for life!
SCRIPT: Announcer: “Record gas prices. A climate in crisis. John McCain says solve it now with a balanced plan: Alternative energy, conservation, suspending the gas tax, and more production here at home. He’s pushing his own party to face climate change. But Barack Obama? For conservation, but he just says no to lower gas taxes, no to nuclear, no to more production. No new solutions. Barack Obama: Just the party line. The Republican National Committee is responsible for the content of this advertising.”
