Script for New Clinton Ad “Ringing”

Hillary For President
“Ringing”
TV :30

Announcer: It’s 3 am, and your children are safe and asleep.

But there’s a phone ringing in the White House and this time the crisis
is economic.

Home foreclosures mounting, markets teetering.

John McCain just said the government shouldn’t take any real action on
the housing crisis, he’d let the phone keep ringing.

Hillary Clinton has a plan to protect our homes, create jobs.

It’s 3 am, time for a president who’s ready.

Hillary Clinton: I’m Hillary Clinton and I approve this message.

The TV ad can be seen at http://thepage.time.com and I also see that the Obama girl isn't used in this ad. Markets and ad buy size currently unknown.

1. What are your thoughts on this?

I think they should've done a completely new ad instead of re-using the footage from the original 3AM ad. They also need to have a new tag line beyond the whole "ringing phone" bit, which isn't effective to me.

3. Running out money? Still want to use the fear card?

6. Though I'm glad she is attacking McCain and not Obama.

5. It is a dumb ad.

People will just scratch their heads at the 3am.

9. why re-use the 3am bit?

Why not a new ad?

2. I thought this was a Joke

especially after her Bosnia, you know sleep deprived, kinda of works against that 3:00 am and I ready,

[slinkerwink]

7. while I'm glad to see her taking McCain more on this issue....

I think they should've gone with a new ad instead of re-using the old one. Could be money problems though.

4. Effective message, but stupid ad

The premise of a 3AM phone call about the economy is pretty ridiculous.

8. yeah, that's been overused
