GOP ad to air Tuesday
Submitted by bkrueger on 2008-04-25 18:27The controversial state GOP ad featuring the Rev. Jeremiah Wright is scheduled to begin airing Tuesday, according to state Republican officials.
Several stations have agreed to run the ad including WECT, WCTI, WLOS, and WXII, according to Brent Woodcox, the GOP spokesman, reports Rob Christensen.
But several other stations have declined to run the commercial including WRAL, WSOC and WBT.
Woodcox said the ad has been successful in raising money for the party. The ad has raised between $10,000 and $20,000, which will help pay for airing the commercials.
The ad includes film footage of some of the provocative remarks by Wright, who is the former pastor of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.
And it ties Democratic gubernatorial candidates Beverly Perdue and Richard Moore to Obama and by implication to Wright.
