Hillary Clinton Watch: 3 AM Ad Channels McCain?
Posted by: Flap in Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, President 2008From the Hillary Clinton campaign: On March 4th, your vote will decide who will be in the White House to pick up the phone when it rings at 3 AM
Hillary Clinton’s latest campaign ad (above) asks an important question but channels a John McCain answer.
“It’s 3:00am and your children are asleep,” a voice over says in the ad. “There’s a phone in the White House, and it’s ringing. Something is happening in the world. Your vote will decide who answers that call.”
“Whether someone knows the world’s leaders, knows the military, someone tested and ready to lead. It’s 3am and your children are safe and asleep. Who do you want answering the phone?” the ad concludes.
Obama can push back all he wants but the ad is RIGHT ON POINT.
The answer is John McCain.

FEAR TACTICS-
The Republicans have jammed fear down our throats for 8 years, it is why we are at war. It is why Obama is willing to go into Pakistan (if Pakistan won’t do it themselves) without permission to get rid of Al Qaida. It is the reason we have The Patriot Act.
This message says something different to me.
History:
When 9-11 happened, Bush didn’t and couldn’t respond right away. When Katrina happened he waited days before making a comment or visiting.
I FEAR Bush’s lack of response - lack of concern.
Present:
On Super Tuesday, when tornados were hitting the midwest, Clinton responded in her speeches that SAME night. Clinton thanked the voters for battling the storm and gave understanding and sympathy to those who lost homes and loved ones. It took until Wednesday for Obama to notice.
When the motorcycle driver in Clinton’s motorcade was killed, Clinton stopped campaigning right away to be with his family.
———————
It isn’t fear that makes me want to know who is answering that call at 3 am. It’s compassion and the belief that America deserves better.

[...] Cindy McCain weighed in today on Hillary Clinton’s 3 AM ad. “Everybody’s talking about that call at 3 o’clock in the morning,” McCain said, speaking at the start of a town hall meeting in a Houston bbq joint. “I want him to represent my son at 3 o’clock in the morning.” [...]

[...] Should she pick Obama, she would open herself to criticism that she’s picking someone she has claimed is not ready to lead. She would then be saying she prefers political expediency to national security, further strengthening John McCain’s hand on national security, his strongest issue. Indeed, in that 3AM ad which many credit for helping her win Texas and Ohio yesterday, she asks, as blogger FullosseousFlap puts it, “an important question but channels a John McCain answer.” (Indeed, one blogger re-cut the ad, removing the references to her and ending with John McCain.)

This is so funny! I can’t beleive that Clinton would be so foolish as to put a person who likes Obama in her 3AM commercial. I am really not sure she is cut out to win this race.
