Both Ways Shays Uses Obama in Ad, Blasts Him on TV

Himes campaign says Republican is misleading voters

BRIDGEPORT, CT: After using Barack Obama's image in an advertisement, Republican Chris Shays went to the Republican convention and embraced partisan Republican talking points in attacking Obama. Michael Sachse, Jim Himes' Communications Director, released the following statement in response:

"Once again, Chris Shays wants to have it both ways. Chris Shays praised Obama in his own commercial one day, and then uses Republican talking points against him the next. That's not leading, that's misleading."
