Summary: Smith tries to differentiate his politics from the "gridlock" of Washington and pledges to find "common ground" with the next president.
Script of "Get It" (TV)
GORDON SMITH: Partisan fighting, gridlock: That’s Washington’s answer to your problems, not mine. I get it.
I’m Gordon Smith, and I’ve shown a better way: thinking independently, working with Democrats and Republicans.
I approve this ad because no matter who our next president is -- him or her -- I’ll find common ground for the change we need.
ANNOUNCER [v/o]: Senator Gordon Smith. Common ground for the common good.
