DES MOINES (AP) - The nation's largest seniors group is running television commercials in Iowa and three other swing states, attempting to force presidential candidates to address health and retirement issues.

The groups AARP and Divided We Fail have launched new television commercials in Iowa, Michigan, Florida and New Hampshire urging voters to "make sure their talk turns into real solutions."

A spokesman declined to give specifics about the ad buy but said it was part of a "multi-million dollar effort" to mobilize voters around issues key to seniors.
