Obama Camp Turns Debate Moment Into Ad

Barack Obama's campaign is out with a new ad, to run on national cable outlets, highlighting Joe Biden's criticism of John McCain's health care plan in the vice presidential debate last night. The ad starts with Alaska Governor Sarah Palin explaining about the plan, "He's proposing a five thousand dollar tax credit for families so that they can get out there and they can purchase their own health care coverage." The ad then cuts in part of Biden's response: "Do you know how John McCain pays for his five thousand dollar tax credit? He taxes as income every one of you out there, every one of you listening who has a health care plan through your employer. Taxing your health care benefit. I call that the 'Ultimate Bridge to Nowhere.'" Watch it:

The McCain campaign has a new Web ad up as well, you can watch that here.
