John McCain Watch: 3 AM Ad Channels Cindy McCain

Republican presidential hopeful, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and his wife Cindy, take part in a campaign stop at the Mi Tierra Restaurant in San Antonio, Texas, Tuesday, March 4, 2008.

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.”

Prominently displayed on her turtleneck was a blue star flag pin just above a “USMC” broach.

The McCain’s youngest son, Jimmy, is in the United States Marines and just finished a tour in Iraq. Their older son, Jack, is in Annapolis.

Although Flap does not suspect the McCain progeny will campaign actively for their father, I suspect some mention and video of their service will appear somewhere along the campaign trail.

Can either Hillary or Obama match this?

Here is the 3 AM ad again:

From 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
