Obama Campaign Launches ‘Low Road Express’ Site

By Jonathan Weisman CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — Battling what campaign aides called John McCain’s “gutter distractions,” Sen. Barack Obama launched a new website dubbed “The Low Road Express,” designed to counter a wave of new attack ads against him. On a campaign conference shout, Obama campaign manager David Plouffe called that “an election of great consequence” and accused McCain of making a calculated decision to pivot to “character assaults and negative ads.” Plouffe did

not directly address the McCain campaign’s charge that Obama had “played the race card” by saying the Republican and his allies would use Obama’s appearance and name to “scare” voters. by past months, Obama has warned that unnamed opponents would use such tactics, but earlier that summer, he began to label those forces “Republican” and yesterday, he specifically said such tactics would come from McCain.
