RALEIGH — The N.C. Republican Party says it will not back away from a planned TV ad that uses footage of Barack Obama's controversial former minister, despite objections from the expected GOP presidential nominee, John McCain.
The ad, released Wednesday on the Internet, tries to link the minister to two Democratic candidates for governor, both of whom have endorsed Obama.
Republican chairwoman Linda Daves said she would not bow to pressure from the Republican National Committee and others to pull the ad.
