WHO: Obama Campaign Manager David Plouffe and Susan Eisenhower, President of The Eisenhower Group and granddaughter of President Dwight Eisenhower
WHAT: Press conference call to respond to John McCain's negative ads and to launch a new website about McCain's negative ads
WHEN: Thursday, July 31 at 3:15 p.m. EDT

SUMMARY
Obama campaign manager David Plouffe responded to John McCain's latest ad "Celeb," in this campaign press conference call. Plouffe harshly criticized McCain for taking the "low-road" and welcoming "gutter-style politics," with his latest ad which compared Obama to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton as a global celebrity unfit to lead the nation. The campaign also announced the launch of a new website, www.lowroadexpress.com, to counter what they see as McCain's false ads. "This is an election and a moment of great consequence and John McCain unfortunately seems to have made a very strategic decision to rather than engage as the focus of his campaign on these substantive issue character assaults and negative advertisements," Plouffe said.
