| Description | LEXINGTON, Ky. — Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's campaign has ramped up its efforts to emphasize his Christian faith in a series of new radio and television ads, as well as in a flier that volunteers have distributed.
Kentucky Lt. Gov. Daniel Mongiardo, who endorsed Obama on Sunday, narrated a new radio spot for Obama that highlights the Illinois senator's upbringing and values, including how Obama is "a strong Christian."
Mongiardo said he felt compelled to make the ad after constituents contacted his office with what he called "misconceptions" about Obama.
"The negative calls have been talking about either the color of his skin or claims that he's not a Christian," Mongiardo said. "As I've listened to newscasts of primaries across the country, it struck me that there is a segment of people who are not voting for Hillary Clinton but are voting against Barack Obama because of issues that don't pertain to substance." |
