NEW YORK (AP)

John Kerry, seeking to shift the presidential campaign focus to the economy, pledges to ``stand up for the middle class'' and suggests President Bush ``sides with the special interests'' in new ads that are part of a $50 million post-Labor Day blitz starting in seven key states. ..

Ads will air on local network affiliates, cable TV and broadcast outlets targeting minorities.

The new commercials highlight the economy as the Kerry campaign seeks to move the focus of the race from questions about the Massachusetts senator's decorated Vietnam service and subsequent anti-war activities some 30 years ago. ..

In one spot emphasizing his health care and jobs proposals, Kerry says: ``The fundamental choice in this election is between a president who will fight for the middle class and a president who sides with the special interests in this country.''
