In the final debate tonight between Barack Obama and John McCain, the difference between the two Presidential candidates was clearly drawn. Sen. McCain has the experience and leadership to guide our country in a positive new direction.

Sen. McCain gave Americans specifics on how he will work to increase jobs, establish energy independence, and lower health care costs, while Barack Obama showed he was unable to give Americans the straight talk and straight answers they deserve. For every hardworking family who strives to achieve the American Dream, they must now decide whether to elect a candidate who rewards their hard work or a candidate who punishes them with tax hikes and stands behind spread[ing] the wealth around.

Paid for by the Republican National Committee.

Not authorized by any candidate or candidates committee.
