Alabama Congress Ad Funded by RNC Includes McCain and Palin

This ad for Republican Congressman Jay Love is the first local ad to include John McCain and Sarah Palin. It is funded by the Republican National Committee. Combining a local race with a national race, this is an example of a "hybrid" ad; The cost for the ad is split between the RNC and the McCain campaign, taking advantage of a loophole which allows candidates to stretch their public campaign funds.
