Mellencamp does Indiana radio for Obama

John Mellencamp does a "small town"-themed ad for Obama in his native Indiana.

"John McCain will keep giving tax breaks to companies shipping American jobs overseas," he says in the ad.

"Barack Obama gets it," he says. "He sees the value in American-made products and a strong American labor force."

Mellencamp, who lives in Bloomington, is an Indiana icon, and also a longtime Democrat.
