String of New Ads from the Clinton Camp
In the last couple weeks before Super Tuesday, Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) is airing ads in Feb. 5 states like her campaign depends on it...which, it really does.
First one: Warned.
For the first 15 seconds, exactly, the ad slams Bush on his cronyism, poor economic decisions and the housing crisis. Then, for the last 16 seconds, exactly, a cheery, upbeat rock tune cuts in with a cheerier narrator praising Clinton for her plans to create jobs, give tax rebates to the middle class and freeze foreclosures.
Second in the mix: Falling Through
The ad says that Clinton can battle the insurance companies, improve the economy, and fix the health care and education systems. Generic inspirational music plays in the background throughout the ad, then picks up the volume a bit during the final line when Clinton promises: "I intend to be a president who stands up for all of you."
Last:: Serious
This ad outline Clinton policies on alternative energy and helping the environment. The ad has some neat aerial views of green fields, coastlines and wind mills spinning during sunset.The ad briefly outlines her 'Strategic Energy Plan,' which would put $50 billion into wind energy , bio fuel and solar power.

If Team Clinton had done this instead of the Bumbling Bill and Hill antics, she'd have had my vote in the general election. As it stands, only Gore, Edwards, Obama, McCain or Bloomberg will get it.

These are very good ads. Just like Hillary to outperform everyone else. She has to because for a woman to succeed she has to be three times as good as any man.
Sisters if you think any man will do as much for you as a woman who has gone to bat for women as long as she has you will find yourself losing ground.
She went to law school when those places were closed to women. She became a law partner when law firms of any stature just used women attorneys as cheap labor.
She got Bill Clinton to appoint Madeline Albright as the first woman Secretary of State.
No man is ever going to advance our cause as much as having a woman president in the White House will do.
Vote for Hillary.

These look like typical soap commercials that have been putting people to sleep for decades. Nothing new or inspiring here. Long on promises, but short on originality. Totally lacking in credibility.
Hype is hype. Slick hype is not good enough.
