McCain-Palin ad flashback: Chicago Machine

When this McCain-Palin ad was relased in September, Barack Obama supporters called it unfair. Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley complained the most.

Let's take a second look at the ad. Oh, Rod Blagojevich makes an appearance.



Here's the script:

ANNCR: Barack Obama. Born of the corrupt Chicago political machine.

BARACK OBAMA: In terms of my toughness, look first of all, I come from Chicago.

ANNCR: His economic adviser, William Daley. Lobbyist. Mayor's brother.

His money man, Tony Rezko. Client. Patron. Convicted Felon.

His "political godfather." Emil Jones. Under ethical cloud.

His governor, Rod Blagojevich. A legacy of federal and state investigations.

With friends like that, Obama is not ready to lead.
