Obama Comments an Issue in Pa. House Race
By Paul Kane of The Trail:
PHILADELPHIA -- In a sign of the fall campaign the GOP hopes to run against Democrats, a Republican candidate today unveiled a web advertisement linking a House freshman to Sen. Barack Obama's comment that many small town Americans "cling" to gun rights and religion.
Republican Melissa Hart, who lost her House seat in 2006 and is running in a rematch in November, published an ad hitting opponent Rep. Jason Altmire (D-Pa.) for his refusal to condemn the Democratic presidential front-runner for his April 6 comment at a San Francisco fundraiser.
