Script of "Pennies -- IN" (TV)

ANNOUNCER [v/o]: Another negative ad from Hillary Clinton, but here's what she's not saying:

USA Today calls her three-month gas tax holiday "political pandering." It's an election-year gimmick saving Hoosiers just pennies a day.

(Text on screen: 4/29/2008; "poll-driven gimmickry" -- Wall Street Journal, 4/16/2008; Average Savings: about 30 cents/ day -- Source: Americans For Transportation Mobility, 1/15/08)

Barack Obama's plan? Take on price-gouging by oil companies, tax their windfall profits, invest in alternative energy, give working families a permanent $1000 tax cut to help with rising costs. That’s change we can believe in.

BARACK OBAMA [v/o]: I’m Barack Obama, and I approve this message.
