Gephardt disavows ads
There's already been an article and a direct statement from the Kerry campaign on these ads. Here's Gephardts.

"Both unions, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers and the Laborers' International Union of North America, have endorsed Representative Richard A. Gephardt, who said yesterday that he knew nothing about the group running the commercials." ~snip

"Mr. Gephardt's campaign took steps to distance itself from the group.

During a conference call with reporters yesterday Mr. Gephardt said he knew nothing about the group and called for it to reveal its donors.

"If I wanted to run ads of this kind," he said, "I'd run them. We're running ads. And I wish they weren't running the ads."

Mr. Gephardt's media adviser, Bill Carrick, said in an interview, "These independent groups may believe they're helping us, but the truth is these ads at best end up being a distraction." ~snip
