Regular readers of this blog know that we tried to post videos of as many of the campaign ads as possible, concentrating on the "independent expenditure" ads - those funded by outside groups without coordination with either of the candidates.

1) "Controversial "McCain Ads" For McClung, Kelly" (posted Oct. 21)
Arizona Senator John McCain spends some of his extra campaign cash and makes ads supporting Republican candidates for three of the contested House races.
