American Crossroads, Where will Lee Fisher take our economy? Just look behind you VIDEO

Text Transcript:

Narrator: "Where will Lee Fisher take our economy? Just look behind you. Fisher served as Gov. Strickland's top official on job creation, yet Ohio has lost almost 400,000 jobs. And Fisher wanted a $1.1 billion tax increase, which could have driven countless jobs out of state. Fisher even supported Obama's stimulus that failed to create jobs. Ohio can't afford to keep looking back. American Crossroads is responsible for the content of this advertising."

WASHINGTON – American Crossroads, the new conservative 527 campaign organization, today launched a new TV ad in the Ohio Senate race between Republican Rob Portman and liberal Democrat Lee Fisher.

As the key battleground state in the last three presidential elections, Ohio’s senate race has become one of the most watched and anticipated in the 2010 midterm elections. Despite the “stimulus” legislation passed in early 2009, the state has lost more than 400,000 jobs, making jobs and the economy the key issue in the race to succeed retiring Sen. George Voinivich.

“Ohio voters face a crossroads in the 2010 elections, between Rob Portman’s path of job creation, low taxes and restrained government spending, and liberal Lee Fisher’s path of big-government bailouts and deficits,” said American Crossroads communications director Jonathan Collegio. “With 400,000 plus jobs lost in the last two years, Ohioans know well where the Obama-Fisher policies lead: unemployment, out of control spending and record debt.”
