COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Josh Mandel, the Republican candidate for Ohio treasurer, has decided to stop airing a controversial TV commercial that associated his opponent Kevin Boyce with a mosque.

The 30-second commercial will run through the weekend and then will be replaced with another ad, said Joe Aquilino, Mandel's political director.

"We're moving in another direction," he said.

Mandel's decision to stop airing the commercial comes on the heels of an avalanche of criticism directed at him due to the ad's religious overtones.>>>
