John Weiler is a Southern California police detective, a Republican, an Air Force veteran and a self-described conservative. He is starring in a television commercial in support of Barack Obama.
Top entertainment figures, including Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, selected the ad in a contest run by the liberal group for the best 30-second pro-Obama television spot. MoveOn is spending $200,000 to air the ad for one week in Cincinnati, Denver and Milwaukee, all cities in states considered general-election battlegrounds. The ad also will air nationally on cable networks.
