Chandler begins airing campaign commercials
The Associated Press
FRANKFORT - Ben Chandler's gubernatorial campaign aired two commercials Tuesday, its first for the general election.
His Republican opponent, Ernie Fletcher, who hit the airwaves last week, launched a follow-up commercial Tuesday.
Chandler touts his record as attorney general in one of the 30-second spots. The other is narrated by his wife, Jennifer Chandler, with their children - Lucie, Albert and Branham - chiming in.
Settings for Fletcher's latest ad include an empty warehouse and an empty house - the candidate's way of dramatizing job losses, which he blames on "tax and spend policies" of Democratic administrations.
Chandler has made economic development a main issue but blames job losses on national economic policies of President Bush and on Fletcher, an ally of the president in Congress.
