President Obama's Campaign To Debut New Radio Ads In Seven Swing States
Obama for America will release seven different radio ads Tuesday, attacking Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan on a variety of different fronts — from Ryan's much-scrutinized proposal to turn Medicare into a voucher system to proposed cuts in clean energy under a Romney presidency — the campaign announced in a press release on Monday.
The ads — specifically tailored for each state in which they will air — will run in Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia.

Obama campaign launches swing-state radio ads blasting Romney-Ryan budget
(snip)
"From letting the housing market hit rock bottom to turning Medicare into a voucher system and slashing investments in education, the Romney-Ryan approach is consistent with their belief in a top-down economy – provide trillions in tax cuts to those at the top and pay for it with tax hikes on the middle-class and deep cuts in key investments we need to create jobs and grow our economy," said Obama spokesman Adam Fetcher in a statement.
Each ad is tailored to voters in the swing state where it will air. For instance, in Florida, voters will hear an attack on the Republican Medicare voucher proposal, while Iowans will an ad critical of Romney's declaration he would stop subsidizing the state's booming wind energy program. Virginia's ad targets roads and infrastructure — of particular concern in the congested and Democratic leaning Washington, D.C. suburbs — while North Carolina ads focus on veterans' benefits.
In New Hampshire and Ohio, ads focus on proposed cuts to Pell Grants — detailing how many college students in each state would feel the effects of the cuts. In Nevada, where the housing market was rocked by the financial crisis, the ad claims that in the House, Ryan voted against a bill that would protect servicemembers from foreclosures.

"Gov. Romney and Congressman Ryan will be here in New Hampshire on Monday, so you can tell them if you think this is fair," Obama said. "And you should ask them, how do you think that’s going to grow the economy again? How is that going to strengthen the middle class? Look, we have tried this kind of trickle-down snake oil before."
