WASHINGTON, Oct. 18, 2012 /Standard Newswire/ -- Tea Party Victory Fund Chairman Ken Blackwell announced on Monday that the SuperPAC would begin running an ad featuring the "ObamaPhone" lady in key markets in Ohio. Within 24 hours, predictable cries of racism began from the Left.

Tea Party Victory Fund Chairman Ken Blackwell had this to say about the controversy:
"Name calling is a sophomoric way of trying to change the subject. This ad draws a clear contrast between those who want to transform America into a European style welfare state, and those of us who want to restore America's tradition of individual empowerment, limited Government and a balanced budget. We believe this is an incredibly effective ad, and that if enough swing voters see it, President Obama cannot win Ohio."
Mr. Blackwell is the former Secretary of State and Treasurer of the state of Ohio.
The ad is slated to run in the Youngstown, Akron and Toledo markets.
