McCain to hit New Hampshire airwaves with first ad
Biden's Iraq plan recieived overwhelming support in the Senate Wednesday.
HANOVER, New Hampshire (CNN) - On the same day a new CNN/WMUR poll shows Sen. John McCain gaining ground in the crucial state of New Hampshire, CNN has learned the Arizona Republican is set to hit Granite State airwaves with his first television ad of the 2008 presidential campaign season .
A source close to the Republican presidential hopeful tells CNN the television spot will go up in the early-voting state soon. The campaign is expected to reveal more details on the ad buy Thursday.
Once the clear frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination, McCain found himself nearly broke last summer after his support for an immigration bill unpopular with the Republican base severely curbed his fundraising efforts.
But a CNN/WMUR poll released Wednesday indicates the 71-year-old four-term senator may be gaining ground in the state where he beat then-Texas Gov. George W. Bush in 2000. McCain registers 18 percent in the latest poll, an increase of 6 percentage points from July.

A new war against Iran isn't a good platform for winning.Isn't everyone aware that these guys get to keep all the money in their war chests?Giving him money is like getting ripped off.Give to Rudy.
Is it me or does this picture remind you of Darth Vaders boss in Star Wars?
I voted for McCain in 2000 when I lived in Ohio. I lost interest during the 2004 campaign when he was brown nosing with Bush too much. He would just be more of the same.
McCain to hit New Hampshire airwaves with first ad.
YIPPE Iam the first to air an AD. maybe i can find me some friends.
good grief
This 71-year old (My lord!) hoss needs to be taken out to the pasture! Enough is enough John!
The conservative battleship U.S.S. Trekks is going to pull ashore for a moment in a sort of ceasefire moment to offer a
pick-me up to the other half of the overall American team. I am going to do this in a form of compliment to one of the
greatest DEMOCRATIC leaders ever elected to an office of government in the United States. Her name is Kathleen
Sebelius the governer of the state of Kansas. She works hand in hand with some of the toughest conservatives in the
nation, in a give and take style of governing that is unprecedented. Shes revamped education here, on a level that
parents and teachers are both on a constant run trying to keep up. Shes helped pass laws here to deal with violent
criminals that would be a contraversial no-no to many in her own party in many other states. She can pore aid and
assistance on an area effected by flood, snow, or tornado, before the clouds clear and thought about mobilizing it when
she seen it in the forecast. Youd be hard pressed to find a Farm and Ag. issue this gal wont tackle to help ease an ever
tightening rope on the Kansas farmer. I beleive she was also rated one the top 5 governers in the United States.
We may never see eye to eye, but people we can come together and work as one unified country on many things that
wont leave headlines that upset either party.
Where were you McCain when a Sailor abused in boot camp asked for your help? Thank God for Hillary Clinton the only one who would help this lost Sailor find his way back to shore.
This guy still has a credit line?
Sen McCains heart is in the right place – its that just he's thinking like an old school Republican – I am happy that theres are lots of us who will nominate a moderate to be our next president – it shows we have come along way...and the religious right...is the minority of the party – I plan to contribute to Rudy today – a moderate is our future
