AFL-CIO Launching Ad Attacking McCain's Senate Record
The AFL-CIO will launch an ad tomorrow in six battleground states -- MI, MN, OH, PA, VA, WI -- featuring Jim Wasser, a Navy veteran who served with John Kerry. It marks the first major action of the AFL-CIO Union Vets Council, which will be formally announced tomorrow in Dayton, OH.
In the spot, which will run for six weeks, Wasser says he doesn't take issue with McCain's service record, but with his Senate record. AFL-CIO officials say the buy is targeted to communities where jobs have disappeared and fallout from the nation's economic slowdown is particularly acute.

McCain better get in gear. Zogby has him losing his home state by 3 in their latest poll. I can't imagine that'll hold, but I couldn't have imagined that it would have existed two months ago.
