ARLINGTON, VA -- U.S. Senator John McCain's presidential campaign today released three television ads to run in Virginia, DC and Maryland in the run-up to the primaries on Tuesday, February 12th.
Two of the ads, entitled "Never Surrender" and "True Conservative," focus on John McCain's record of courageous service and leadership, commitment to conservative principles as well as his readiness to lead as commander in chief on day one.
The third ad, entitled "Trust," highlights Mitt Romney's history of running against the Reagan record and asks, "If we can't trust Mitt Romney on Ronald Reagan, how can we trust him to lead America?"
The ads will run in statewide in Virginia, the District of Columbia and Salisbury, Maryland.
