New McCain ad says Obama responsible for rising gas prices
By Alex RoartyA new ad from U.S. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) that will run in Pennsylvania hammers U.S. Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) for opposing expanded domestic oil drilling.
The 30-second spot, which will also run on national cable and in other key states, links Obama's opposition to skyrocketing gas prices.
The ad counters that McCain's plan to expand oil drilling at home will "rescue our family budgets."
"Don't hope for more energy, vote for it," the ad says.

wow
I have seen politicians stretch things pretty far but how can anyone really blame Obama for the gas prices. Does John McCain want absolutely no creditability by the time he reaches office? He is showing me that he is willing to say anything to get himself into office true or not. If that is his approach to win the election I have no doubts he will engage in the same policy once he becomes President. He proves to be more and more like Bush everyday.
Jeez, I thought this McCain
Jeez, I thought this McCain fellow dropped out before Hillary Clinton. How did McCain get back in the race?
Can Hillary get back in too? If this McCain can do it it would be discrimination to not let Hillary do it to.
