A day after the McCain campaign released a Web ad that highlights Obama's association with William Ayers, the Republican National Committee is piling on with their own TV ad that goes one step further.

Tomorrow, the RNC's independent expenditure unit announced that it will begin airing an ad hitting Obama on Ayers, Tony Rezko, and Chicago politics, reports NBC's Mark Murray.

"But the ad will run only in the battleground states of Indiana and Wisconsin, which border Illinois."

Here's the script:

The Chicago Way. Shady politics.
That's Barack Obama's training.
His teachers?
Tony Rezko convicted of corruption, money laundering, aiding and abetting bribery.
Rezko got Obama in on a shady land deal.
William Daley. Heir to the Chicago machine. A top Obama advisor.
And William Ayers. Leader of a terrorist group that bombed the US Capitol.
Obama's first campaign was launched at a gathering at Mr. Ayers's home.
There's more you need to know.
The Republican National Committee is responsible for the content of this advertising.
