Attack ad tries to link Obama, Kilpatrick
A self-described "small government conservative" political committee based in Washington, D.C., launched an attack ad against Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama in Macomb County on Friday, attempting to link him to disgraced and soon-to-depart Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick.

The 30-second ad uses audio and video from a May 2007 appearance Obama made before the Detroit Economic Club at which he is introduced by Kilpatrick and, in turn, describes Kilpatrick as "your great mayor," "a friend," etc. Obama's praise then plays over a police mug shot of the mayor as a list of the criminal charges against him scrolls down the screen.

1. Sounds like desperation..
the Willie Horton ad comes to mind. Link Obama with anyone he ever met in his life and try to hang him with it. I hope to God it doesn't work this time.

2. Willie Horton was exactly what I thought of.
Not just desperate but slimy, too...
