Hillary Airs Another Indiana Ad Hitting Obama On Gas Tax
I've just obtained a copy of another ad hitting Obama on the gas tax that Hillary just started airing in Indiana.
The last-minute ad, which went up late on the Friday before election day, says Hillary's gas tax holiday would "save families $8 billion," and adds: "Barack Obama says that's just pennies."
"He'd make you keep paying that tax, instead of big oil," the ad continues.
The "just pennies" Obama quote comes from an Obama response ad that says that the gas tax holiday would save Indiana residents "just pennies a day."
As noted here before, Hillary chief strategist Geoff Garin has said the campaign's internal polling indicates that the gas tax holiday is persuading Hoosiers that she is in touch with their economic anxieties. This second ad suggests they're sticking with this all the way through election day.
The Obama campaign moved to engage Hillary more directly in the gas tax dispute today, issuing a second ad hitting back at her criticism of him on it. Now Hillary has hit back again.
