Obama ad upbraids McCain on equal pay

An unannounced spot by the Obama camp features former Goodyear employee Lilly Ledbetter discussing how getting paid less than the men at her job affected her family.

The ad lambasts Sen. McCain for his belief that equal pay isn't an issue for women.



McCain camp responds: "Barack Obama claims he's for equal pay for women, but women working in his Senate office earn an average of $9,000 less than men, while women in John McCain's Senate office earn an average of nearly $2,000 more than men. American women understand that real leadership is about what you do, not just what you say."
