WASHINGTON — The presidential candidates unveiled new television ads Monday.
In his spot, John McCain portrays his Democratic opponent as a product of corrupt Chicago machine politics. Barack Obama’s ad says McCain’s proposal to deregulate health care could have disastrous effects like the deregulation of Wall Street.
The commercials come as the two candidates are locked in a tight race with six weeks until Election Day. Both campaigns say they are airing the spots as part of national buys, meaning they aren’t targeted to battleground states and are probably meant to drive negative news coverage of each other as much as reach key voters directly on television.
