1. they probably expected this. Clinton prolly released the ad three hours ago, and they drew up an ad
to respond.

2. I think there was a post about a rapid response team
set up by the obama campaign so he wont get swiftboated by this garbage.

35. They did an excellent job.
This is a superb response.

If they anticipated the attack and had this in the tubes as some are suggesting, then all the more admirable for their foresight.

3. That's yet another reason why I love the Obama campaign...
They use judo and just turn the force against the perpetrator. THIS is the campaign we've been waiting for.

23. Zen
I've been saying all along...there's something "non-linear" about Obama's approach and worldview!

6. Wow, the Clinton campaign is shameless. And in this case, stupid.
They walked right into this one.

Good for the Obama campaign.

21. Good point!
Did they not realize that Obama's ad team is the fastest and in my view best of this campaign? They can have an ad ready in an hour or less.

And then it will get MORE air time because of the huge amount of funds people have given the Obama campaign.

Clinton your ad was STUPID!

11. Each campaign constantly emails
the press with their slant. Obviously someone on the press assigned to
Obama is passing this on.

12. I wish they would have included her at the DKos convention last year
saying that she'll continue to take money from lobbyists. Lobbyists represent real Americans. No words inflict as much damage on Hillary than those that come out of her own mouth.

Great response though!

17. That responce ad kicked ass! Clinton made a bad mistake with hers.
Because she has so little money her ads did not air as long. And now Obama's ad will air all over the place.

When you have little money you don't put an easily defeated attack ad out. You give your opponent a change to blast it away and the pieces fall on you.


Politics 101 Clinton!!

18. Uh-huh, the negative commercial that HRC's strategy guy tried to act ignorant about...
Edited on Sun Apr-20-08 01:34 PM by rainbow4321
On MTP this morning. Obama's guy brought it up, Clinton guy tried to say he knew nothing about it....over and over he denied it. Then within minutes you see Clinton guy reading from a paper pretty much outlining the commercial verbatim. Right as he did that, Obama's guy goes (paraphrasing here) "uh, THAT is exactly what the commercial says, the one you KNOW NOTHING ABOUT". Clinton guy just kind looks away and doesn't say anything. The guy was chewed up and spit out this morning.

I give him a month or so before he leaves or is replaced. Didn't even sound like he really supported HRC, just kinda read cues from his paper. Dude, LOOK UP, stop reading your talking points!

24. The Hillary people tried to be slick and didn't announce that they were running that ad.
The Obama camp found out though, and hit back rather well.

27. That was a powerful Obama reply ad. Hillary's old-style politics...
...are killing her campaign. She just isn't using any common sense anymore.

Why would she run a stupid lying ad when she knows that Obama has the resources to not only respond immediately, but to respond in many more markets than Hillary can.

She has given him a HUGE marketing tool, and right before the election.

I said it before, but I'll say it again: there is a box of ferrets running the Clinton campaign.

29. My one complaint about Obama's otherwise-excellent organization.
They post their videos in that weird "cube" format that my machine won't play.

:grr:

NGU.
