John McCain issue ad highlighting his support of tougher climate change policies and how he broke from Pres. Bush on the issue. Launched same week as Al Gore endorsed Obama. June 16, 2008.
John McCain's new TV ad confirms that he'll be trying to run far away from Bush during this election season, in his quest to win over moderate voters. This ad focuses on the environment, with a declaration that "John McCain stood up to the President" on global warming:
Clearly, the McCain camp is worried about the Democrats' message that he would simply be a third Bush term, and they're doing what they can to rebut it.
The ad will be running in battleground states and on national cable.
