McCain Camp Response to Obama Ad "90 Percent"

Please see our campaign's response to Barack Obama's newest negative attack advertisement entitled: “90 Percent”.  This represents the latest ad from the Obama campaign, which has spent more money on negative advertising than any other campaign in American history:

“Barack Obama goes back to the basics, running against President Bush instead of his actual opponent John McCain.  Americans know that John McCain and George W. Bush aren't the same person, but what makes this ad particularly rich is Barack Obama's own previous claims that he had voted with President Bush ‘for the most part'.  If there isn't a single instance where Barack Obama has stood up to the leadership of the Democratic Party that controls Washington, but has instead voted the party line 97 percent of the time last year, how can Senator Obama represent anything but more of the same partisanship that has failed?” ---Tucker Bounds, spokesman McCain-Palin 2008
