Script of "Middle Ground" (TV)

ANNOUNCER [v/o]: Moderate. Independent. Bipartisan. That’s Gordon Smith, working with Republicans and Democrats -- for stem cell research, health care for working families, renewable energy and a cleaner environment.

(Text on screen: “Smith encourages support of expanded stem cell research”; “Smith comes to aid of health plan”)

The Oregonian says “Smith stands for beliefs on middle ground.” The News-Review -- “a tradition of independence” -- and the National Journal ranks Smith at the center of the Senate.

GORDON SMITH: I am Gordon Smith, and I approve working together across party lines -- and this ad.
