1:40 PM: Obama response to Clinton ad
Obama spokesman Dan Leistikow e-mailed WisPolitics a statement in response to Clinton's new ad.
Leistikow wrote, "Senator Obama and Senator Clinton have debated 18 times already and have agreed to two more debates in the next three weeks. It's telling that Senator Obama is spending the day offering substantive ideas on how to fix the housing crisis, offer relief to middle-class families, and end the outsourcing of Wisconsin jobs, while Senator Clinton is playing the same old Washington games. Senator Clinton's attacks won't help pass universal health care, or restore one Wisconsin job that has been lost due to trade agreements like NAFTA that she supported."
Outside Obama's campaign stop at the GM plant in Janesville today, about half a dozen Clinton supporters picketed. One held a sign that said, "Obama: Why no debate?"
