Senator Barack Obama will intensify his assault against Senator John McCain, with new television advertisements and more forceful attacks by the candidate and surrogates beginning Friday morning, as he confronts an invigorated Republican presidential ticket and increasing nervousness in the Democratic ranks.

NEW YORK, Sept. 12 -- Advisers to Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama say they will "respond with speed and ferocity" to attacks from the Republican ticket, with Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. (D-Del.), the vice presidential nominee, leading the charge.
Obama campaign manager David Plouffe said Friday in an e-mail to reporters that Republican nominee John McCain "has shown that he is willing to go into the gutter to win this election. His campaign has become nothing but a series of smears, lies, and cynical attempts to distract from the issues. . . . We will not allow John McCain and his band of Karl Rove disciples to make this big election about small things."
