WASHINGTON -- An independent arm of the Republican National Committee plans to spend $3 million on an ad campaign contrasting Republican presidential candidate John McCain to rival Barack Obama on energy security. The ad will run in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin beginning this weekend. The ad represents the first of the RNC's independent expenditure operation. The effort will be run by Republican media consultant Brad Todd of On Message Inc., a media and polling firm that worked on Mitt Romney's presidential campaign. Todd said the ad will focus on energy, "which is emerging as a defining difference in the race for president."
