Dems: Don't get 'fooled' again

Democrats are putting cash behind their anti-Bush message, taking to the airwaves today with an ad that frames the election as one of "big choices."

Timed to coincide with the end of its summer meeting in St. Louis, the Democrat National Committee is launching a new television ad that "amplifies the choice voters are going to face this fall," a senior party spokesman said.

That choice should sound familiar if you've been listening to the president during his campaign swing earlier this week, one between "Democrats who have pulled the country out of the ditch and Bush Republican era policies which put us there."

The spot, which will air on national cable, features a familiar clip of former President Bush saying, "you can't get fooled again."

At today's DNC meeting Vice President Joe Biden, largely absent from the public arena in recent weeks as he vacationed on Long Island, will address the party faithful and likely echo this message as well.
