Hillary hits new low

Is this a Rudy Giuliani ad, or a Hillary Clinton ad?

The call...it's coming from INSIDE THE HOUSE!!

And, the Obama reply.

Somehow I think if the phone rings at 3 AM in the White House, Bill's the one who'll answer and the greeting would be something along the lines of "I told you not to call me here"

Oh snap! I love this man's wit, I really do.

Maybe he thinks "positive" and "desperate" mean the same thing.

And now her campaign is threatening to sue Texas because of their combo primary/caucus.

It's only been the way they've done it in Texas for decades. Suddenly, Hillary wants it to stop.

Jesus, everywhere I look her campaign is doing something more retarded. Here's a letter they sent out today:

Basically, what we are saying is that if Obama doesn't totally kick the living shit out of us -he sucks.

So, vote Hillary.

The NYTimes mention they produced the ad, but have they played it in any markets? Or is it for the media to take on for a cycle?

Probably played it in Ohio, Texas, and maybe the next few primary states.

Nah, it's 3 am in the commercial. she's fully dressed with makeup and jewelry on. She probably just needed to put the mirror and razor in the drawer or something.

What role does the president usually play in the event of a national emergency right when he or she is first notified? From what I recall, President Bush didn't leave his seat when he received news of the initial attack on 9/11, and to me that suggests that the scenario portrayed is false and that the president isn't relied upon for a swift and decisive response in the event of something akin to a terrorist attack.

That can't be the case though, right?

So, subtext #1 is... he spent twice as much as us, so if he doesn't win by a 2 to 1 margin, I should be the nominee.

Subtext #2: Hillary, the reason he's outspent you is because he's raised more money then you, because more people have donated to his campaign, because more people like him than you!!!

Yeah but you can't measure Bush by normal human standards, especially not when it comes to reaction in the face of a crisis, leadership qualities and such.

No, but seriously, I think you're making a very good point.

Obama's response is pretty awesome.

They misquoted him. He said "apositive."

That was one of the most mild campaign ads I've ever seen. Certainly not a compelling or effective ad either, but I'm not sure what everyone is so upset about. The whole "experience" angle is as old as elections themselves. We're just used to hearing it from an incumbent. And it's not a convincing ploy then either. *shrug*

Please. she hasnt murdered anyone yet...




... HAS SHE?!?

When that ad first started playing the first thing I thought was for ADT. They do have something in common though, they both play on your fears. The difference is ADT is usually more reassuring at the end.

As a side note, Mark Penn is crazy, as there is nothing even remotely positive about that ad. Guess we already knew that though.

Also, this is not a new low, its the same low taken in a slightly different direction.

There are alot of unsolved murders in America

I think it's that she just criticized Obama for Republican tactics, which to me means scare tactics, and the subtext of her new ad is that bad shit is coming and connects the safety of your children in their beds to her being in office. It wasn't blatant, but the subtext of fear was there. Honestly it's not as big an act of hypocrisy as people make it seem, but any fear tactic is just particularly glaring given her shrill complaints about tactics were less than a week ago.

Every time Hillary trips over her own feet, I chuckle and think of what her concession speech will sound like.

Remember Hillary. Shit sandwich = tastes great. Obama '08

So, if Hillary ends up on the ticket as VP, are all of the people here who loath Hillary going to vote for her?
