Barack Obama is going after John McCain on the radio in North Carolina.
Under the Dome readers report hearing Obama ads on country stations (WQDR 94.7 and The Rooster 106.1 in Raleigh, WSOC-FM 103.7 in Charlotte, 93.1 FM The Wolf, 104.1 WTQR in Winston-Salem and WMNC The Big Dawg in Morganton), rock stations (Mix 101.5 in Raleigh) classic R&B stations (Foxy 104.3 in Raleigh), sports radio (850 AM The Buzz in the Triangle), conservative talk radio (WPTF 680 AM in Raleigh, 101.1 FM Talk in the Triad), urban radio (K97.5 in Raleigh, Power 98 and 96.1 The Beat in Charlotte).
Readers reported hearing two ads in particular.
One features former Washington Redskin Ray Schoenke, who leads the American Hunters & Shooters Association, a Democratic-leaning gun owners group.
"Barack Obama and John McCain will both make sure we keep our guns," he says in the ad. "But what about keeping our jobs?"
Another ad describes a lavish Ferris wheel being built in Baghdad.
"John McCain wants America to keep spending $10 billion a month in Iraq when we should be rebuilding America," the narrator says.
Readers also describe an ad encouraging people to register to vote. Pollster Tom Jensen reports hearing ads attacking McCain on gender pay equity as well.
