1. Off Subject, but I am new and can't start a thread.

Go watch the "What's Happened" ad on Hillary's website. First people on here noticed the planted troopergate article below what was a real AP article, but before that, in one of the smaller boxes, it says "Clinton aides admit it won't do much for you but help her politically." The other text small text is pro-Obama too. Says "Obama Plan: Tax Oil Companies" "Invest In (cuts off)." The video was obviously edited by an Obama supporter.
