Dayton one of few markets to see controversial new anti-Palin ad
Local television viewers may have been surprised by the brutality in the latest political ad to hit Dayton airwaves.
The Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund, which supports Sen. Barack Obama for president, released a new ad in swing states that shows the killing of wolves in Alaska. The ad says Gov. Sarah Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee, supported bills to allow for the hunting of wolves and bears from airplanes.
According to The Politico, the ad “will air in a ‘targeted buy’ in the Toledo and Dayton, OH, markets, spokeswoman Jessica Brand said. She added that they plan to scale it up in Ohio and in other swing states later, but didn’t immediately have a dollar figure.”
Take a look at the ad and let us know what you think.

Eye on Ohio: “Real Change” ad for Obama
By V. David Sartin Plain Dealer
THE AD: “Real Change,” 30-second TV ad.
PRODUCER: Barack Obama campaign.
WHERE TO SEE IT: Television http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/realchange_ad/
SCRIPT: Barack Obama: “We’ve heard a lot of talk about change this year. The question is, change to what? To me, change is a government that doesn’t let banks and oil companies rip off the American people. Change is when we finally fix health care instead of just talking about it. Change is giving tax breaks to middle class families instead of companies that send jobs overseas. Change is a president who brings people together. I’m Barack Obama, and I approved this message because this year, change has to be more than a slogan.”
VIDEO: The candidate looks straight into the camera to deliver his message. A graphic - Read the Obama Plan for real change Barackobama.com/issues - steers the viewer to his Web site.
ANALYSIS: In recent days, the John McCain campaign may have stolen some thunder from the senator from Illinois by portraying McCain as a “maverick” who would bring change to Washington.
McCain picked a Washington outsider (Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin) as his running mate. And, the two have set out on campaign stops to deliver their own message of change. In this ad, Obama is trying to recapture the notion that he’s the change guy.
Obama gives us very few details of his plans in this ad. Instead, it’s much easier to suggest that banks and oil companies “rip off” Americans without saying how he’d fix that. Or, that the opponent’s health care plan is all talk. It’s almost as if Obama has seen that McCain-Palin has captured a lot of attention and he feels he has to say ‘Wait, I’m the guy who said ‘change’ first.”
