CBS’s Horse Race blog reports today that Senator McCain’s gas policy inspired a new Obama TV ad to address it. 

Lest anyone mistake the target, the spot uses the same visual shorthand - the blue gas station signboard - deployed in McCain’s gas moratorium web ads launched back in May.  (We think McCain’s prices are funnier.)

Compare and see for yourself.  Who says web display doesn’t make an impact?

The McCain ad ran between May 1 and June 19 at fanball.com, newsbusters.org, frontpagemag.com, paycheckcity.com, news14.com, cdmsports.com, theunionleader.com, gasbuddy.com, captainjohann.sulekha.com, nabou.com, dooce.com, newsnow.co.uk, politics1.com, britainnews.web, blackamericaweb.com.
