Obama counters with his own 'change'

Precisely eight minutes after Hillary Clinton's announcement of her new TV ad arrived in our inbox, Barack Obama's campaign countered with a new ad of its own. This one, like Clinton's, is called "Change," and it will run in Iowa. (Clinton's is running in New Hampshire.) It touts Obama's work passing ethics reform in Illinois and requiring more transparency in the federal government. "We are going to take back our government; we are going to make a change," Obama says.
