Hank Williams Jr. — the country music scion best known for his paeans to rural and rowdy life — is up on the radio in Virginia and other swing states with an ad going after Barack Obama for the Democrat's comment this spring that small-town Americans "cling" to guns and religion.



"We love our God — and we love our guns, especially handed down from our grandfathers," Williams notes with a steel guitar playing in the background. "And we resent it when liberals like Obama question our way of life."



The cost is shared by the RNC, so after 30 seconds of Hank and the sounds of the Opry, the spot effectively starts anew with a generic announcer going after "congressional liberals."



I'm told Hank is also sticking up for the country way of life in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, New Mexico, Nevada, Ohio, Wisconsin and, yes, Pennsylvania.
