McCain Attack Ad and Obama Positive Spot Duel Over "Terrorists" and "Americans"

The McCain campaign has decided to move ahead with its attack on Obama for his association to William Ayers. Ayers is referred to as a "terrorist" twice in the spot. Presenting a very contrasting image of their candidate, the Obama campaign released a positive biographical spot, "Country I Believe In," which includes the word "America" three times, and includes references to Obama's grandfather, who fought with Patton, and his grandmother, who worked in a factory to help the American effort in World War II.
