In a conference call with reporters, Clinton strategist Geoff Garin characterized the new spot as a positive one.
“Unlike Senator Obama's closing argument which has really been negative, and an assault on Senator Clinton…we wanted to bring this choice back to what's really important here, which is the critical issues facing our country and the need for a president who has the strength and the knowledge to take on the tough challenges facing our country," he said.
Obama's campaign responded to the ad by circulating an image of a 1992 Clinton-Gore campaign poster that states, "Vote your hopes, not your fears."
