Florida broadcasters rejoice at start of general election media buys
June 19, 2008 at 12:42 pm by Wayne GarciaSeriously, though, the Barack Obama campaign today released its first general election ad, a piece titled “Country I Love.” (Wasn’t that a Neil Young song?)
Here it is:
From the campaign’s news release:
The Obama campaign today announced the release of its first television advertisement for the general election. The sixty second ad, entitled “Country I Love,” will begin airing in eighteen states across the country tomorrow to highlight how our shared values have shaped Senator Obama’s life.
In the spot, Senator Obama speaks to voters about the core values this nation was founded on and how they have guided him to work hard for his education, to bypass jobs on Wall Street to work as a community organizer, and to lead the fight for America’s families and veterans as an Illinois and United States Senator.
The ad presents Senator Obama’s record of passing laws to reform welfare, to cut taxes for working families, and to ensure America’s veterans have the health care they deserve.
The ad will air in Alaska, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Virginia.
