This is another Hillary ad from today. The message seems to be: "Obese people in Ohio support Hillary Clinton. We don't trust someone so skinny."

More slash and burn from Hillary. She will destroy the party to get the nomination. And loose in November. Seriously, what numbers of Obama supporters will move to McCain and Nader if she does get the nomination?

I seriously may just not vote in November if she is the nominee but first I will move to Ohio.

Hillary needs to go fuck herself. I used to like that bitch, but she now I understand that she is just plain evil.

Damn. Hillary's ad states facts that make Obama look bad. She's mean. I don't want to have beer with her.

It's 3 AM. Somewhere in America, a baby girl is sleeping, and the ghost of second wave feminism is creeping into her room, seeking to possess the poor little baby child and turn her into the next Germaine Greer. Only Hillary Clinton, who has already seriously fucked over the antiwar movement, can stop this terrible, terrible thing from happening.

Vote for Hillary, and she will CRUSH the lingering remnants of second wave feminism once and for all--and she'll do it for the children!

When a candidate personally gives a two minute ad, do they really still need to say "I'm so-and-so, and I approve this message?"

I'm so relieved that Hillary Clinton made the time to have Senate hearings on the Hot Coffee cheat code for GTA:San Andreas. That made me much safer from video game characters having sex - they count as terrorists, right?

Well, it does offer a possible explanation for why Hillary is such a disorganized and ineffective campaigner.... ;)

Hillary isn't hurting the party. The party will get on with it once Hillary gets out of the way. She's just burning bridges and making enemies who will hate her as long as they live. Same as she's been doing her whole career. The funny thing is the Hilbots who can't figure out why so many people have it in for her.

Once again, Hillary doesn't state her qualifications. She clearly didn't have time to do anything in the Senate to stop the Iraq war. She's been there nearly a decade and has nothing to show for it. Why would anyone vote for such an inept law maker?

Her record is average at best. She is the reason why Bush continues to get his way. She is more worried about political success than doing what is right.

This is the same lady who abandoned her home state of Arkansas, just to get elected to the Senate. Are you kidding? She'd lived there for years as first lady and dumped them just to get a political gig. She is the worst kind of politician. She'll do ANYTHING to win so she can have power.

Not to mention, she is simply riding Bill's coattails. But for her being married to a great politician, she has few qualifications for being President. Hillary is the same as the narcissistic and power-hungry politicians of the past.

I'm a strong Obama supporter, but I think that 2-minute ad is boring and uninspired.

I agree, I will stay home in Novemeber if Obama loses the primary. Clinton and McCain, two of the same kind of politians. They only care when it comes time for people to vote.

hillary: you're running for the DEMOCRATIC nomination.

@12-Really? I didn't think it had some of the fire of a lot of his speeches, but it struck me as very sincere, and I like that. As to the Clinton add... well, it's hardly the first example of negative politics from her camp.

Hey Hillary:

If you were so fucking concerned about Afghanistan, why did you vote to spread our military resources paper-thin by committing them to Iraq?

PS Hillary: Where were you on the FISA vote? Protecting Americans means protecting them from corrupt governments and complicit corporations, isn't it? Lap dog much?

these ads have been helping her. i have to say, i think it might be the glasses. no joke -- simple as that -- they work for her. she looks nice, intelligent and competent. whether or not that brings up sexist double standards is another discussion that doesn't interest me at this point.

this ad has little traction in light of the fact that clinton was briefed but did not read the NIE and authorization to go to war, which she voted on despite a few prominent dem.'s who begged others to read it.

still he should have been holding hearings on Afghanistan, given the mess thats been going on. speaking of which why isn't the us offering to buy all opium at above market prices and thus rob the taliban of one source of money? oh yeah that would conflict with the war on drugs which is obviously more important than the war on terror.
