A marked improvement in tone. Glory be.

Congratulations....good ad. The things the Wilsons were subjected to by their own government were beyond description. When Senator Obama is our President, I hope they get some of the sweet, blind Justice that is sorely overdue to them.

Sherri, Charleston WV (Sent Friday, May 09, 2008 6:28 PM)

Wow. Good Ad.

As long as Senator Clinton stays positive' it's fine for her to stay in.

Maybe she could take this time to educate her supporters that Senator Obama is NOT a Muslim, that he didn't take his oath on a Koran, and that he loves his country as much or more than they do.

Vote with your head, vote for the economy, vote for the environment, vote for jobs.

Vote Democratic 2008 -- don't let the corporations and their Republican stooges win again.

MSNBC HEADLINE: "CLINTON: PLAYING THE RACE CARD?"
...........................................................
Comment:
HILLARY HAS RUN A BLATANTLY RACIST CAMPAIGN. HILLARY & BILL HAVE TRIED TO USE THE 'RACE CARD' AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY.

IF JOHN McCAIN MADE SUCH RACIAL ARGUMENTS AS HAVE THE CLINTONS --- BLACK LEADERS WOULD BE OUTRAGED --- THEY WOULD BE SCREAMING & HOLLERING ON EVERY RADIO & TV TALK SHOW DENOUNCING SUCH BLATANTLY RACIAL POLITICS. BUT SINCE IT IS THE HILLARY CAMPAIGN PLAYING THE RACE CARD, ONLY A FEW SO-CALLED BLACK LEADERS ARE SPEAKING OUT IN PROTEST & CONDEMNATION.

WHY? IS DEMOCRATIC "RACE BAITING" OK?

What a cheesy looking, dingy little ad. We know we can't trust Hillary to use real people.

She would have done better with her money to buy that poor man some dental services. Sheesh!

Hillary won't pay for her people's health care (Sent Friday, May 09, 2008 6:35 PM)

She has the strongest plan to bring them home???

She is the one who voted to send them into a war we had no business being in, and now that it helps her get elected she wants to bring them home??...

Oh wait I think she wants to have them home just to send them to Iran right???

I want my family that is fighting in this war to come home , and I know that Obama wants that too .....

And he was against the war from the start !!!!

I don't want to make fun of these people, but come on.

Hillary found the trailer park lookingest people in W Va, for this ad, trying to prove her point on the cheap.

Looks like Hillary produced this ad herself.

Hillary is poor (Sent Friday, May 09, 2008 6:39 PM)

Good God! Will it ever end. Do these people realize that bring the troops back within 60 days is not going to pass congress? She didn't listen to the economist on the gas tax; what makes you think she will listen to the Military and their plan to get out of Iraq; But she has no problem starting a nuclear war.

She can't win, it's over and she needs to move on and go back to NY, if those New Yorkers still want her.

Kay, Salida CA (Sent Friday, May 09, 2008 6:40 PM)

Frankly, I think this ad will only serve to remind people that Hillary voted for the war and Obama warned against it.

DMWhipp (Sent Friday, May 09, 2008 6:40 PM)

It's too bad that Hillary won't have the opportunity to execute "that plan." You are a tough opponent Hillary. It's time to work on unifying the party.

Enrique, Chicago (Sent Friday, May 09, 2008 6:41 PM)

Oh please - ending the Iraq war - after She VOTED FOR it? She's doing nothing but widening the divide amongst her own party - that she *supposedly* loves. She's no longer in it for the country or the people, it's all about her and her ego.

OR Voter (Sent Friday, May 09, 2008 6:42 PM)

Yeah the strongest plan just happens to be the losing plan. I just hate watching Hillary "Republican" Clinton come up with a new deal everyday to try to overturn the will of the majority of Democratic voters. The more she tries the more she sticks her foot in her mouth. Slick Hilly is no Slick Willy.

Time for her to shut up and make a graceful exit while she still has some respect left in our party. If she keeps up this primary farce she won't get elected dogcatcher in our party.

Go Obama 08/12!

Eric, Salinas, CA (Sent Friday, May 09, 2008 6:42 PM)

Ain't this a blip! Hillary voted to send the poor exploited troops to Iraq, without reading the intelligence. Now she's trying to ride their corpses all the way back to the Whitehouse, using the duped people of W.Va., she trashed just yesterday.

wake up W.Va. (Sent Friday, May 09, 2008 6:43 PM)

Nice ad. Maybe a little too late though.

Joe Wilson, the guy who nailed Bush in public for getting the Iraq situation wrong. Is he aware that he's now out there shilling for one of Bush's accomplices in the rush to war? After all, W didn't get us into this mess by himself.

Does Joe Wilson from 2003 know what Joe Wilson is up to these days?

Marcus, Chicago (Sent Friday, May 09, 2008 6:45 PM)

This is some crazy. Do Clinton not know she's can not do anything to become president. It's over CLINTON.

I get a real laugh out of the McCainobots trying to paint us in the ObamaNation as some kind of robots. Let's not forget who the clueless fools of blind faith were that gave us two terms of George "Wrong" Bush all because they didn't think the issues through and merely followed the programming of their overlords Bush and Cheney.

Wake up little McCainobots and smell the reality that your candidate is a liar and will use your votes to get elected and then will throw you under the bus (that would be Iraq) the first opportunity he has.

Go Obama 08/12!

Hillary's been holding her rallies, in W. Va., on people's front porches, because she can't afford anything else.

The W.Va. vendors won't give her credit!

She's taken to packing her lunch with surplus peanut butter, and sugar sandwiches. She can't afford jelly, and suger goes farther.

She's been sighted with a tupperware cup, full of tap water, that she hides under her pantsuit, which she fills with people's water hoses when she get thirsty stumping in their yard.

Consider this, please. How will Hillary's insulting characiture of the good people of West Virginia, fall on their ears? Just how will it play out?

How many of them will her words offend? Will it deflate some of them so that they lose interest in voting on Tuesday? Will she actually drive some to Obama? As ever with Hillary, there is going to be some negative blowback against her in the polls. If nothing else, we have seen through this primary how for her, at this time in her life, she is under Divine Judgment. What goes around, comes around on her so fast, that the rest of us barely have time to run, and take cover before the lightning strikes!

I don't think the Clinton supporters understand the math yet.

Clinton could win West Virginia, Kentucky and Puerto Rico by 85/15; split Oregon, Montana and South Dakota 50/50; get 60% of the remaining Superdelegates; and she would still lose.

Brian (Sent Friday, May 09, 2008 7:09 PM)

Hillary voted for the war to "look" tough. Now she wants us to believe she'll end it while she talks about destroying Iran (Which no elected official should do in public!). Hillary like Bush does not listen to the people around them they are mavericks, its either their way or the highway and as a result we lose!

The backstabbing cruelty of Obama supporters is the only real threat to party unity. It's as if none of these people have ever been around politics before. Gosh, I'm sorry if you're feelings got hurt once in a while during the campaign...Are you done crying yet? Well, maybe not yet, as you will in November when Obama gets spanked. Thanks alot! At least I voted for Hillary.

Chris Portland, OR (Sent Friday, May 09, 2008 7:12 PM)

I'm a big Obama supporter; have made multiple donations and served as part of leadership team for my congressional district here in CA.

Some of the comments from Obama supporters have me shaking my head in disgust. Regardless of how we feel about HRC's tacticts, we need to unite in order to win the presidency. Mocking HRC at this point will do absolutely no good toward that goal and only alienate her supporters. Can't we follow Senator Obama's lead and take high road?

Additionally, to poster "poor people", are you even aware of who Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame are? From your comment, I think you might want to read up before lookign foolish in the future.

This was really a good ad. If HRC had gone this route form the begining, I think she'd have been better off.

This ad is: (1) Stupid, because it was Obama, not Clinton, who actually spoke out against the War. Clinton voted FOR the war, and refuses to admit it was a mistake. Ironic, if she had listened to Ambassador Wilson, then she might have voted against the war, but she didn't--instead, she made a political calculation to vote for the war to try to make herself look "tough" as a presidential contender. Bad call; and (2) Way too late: the race is over, and even if Senator Obama somehow failed to win a majority of the Oregon delegates (unlikely given Hillary's dismal performace in the news cycles over the past two days) he would still reach and clinch the majority of pledged delgates when the Montana and South Dakota primaries are held. Bottom-line: at this point Hillary can't win. That's why the polling organizations like Rassmuson have stopped asking about her in their polls--the math says Obama is going to be the Democratic Nominee.

People, PLEASE! Wilson and Plame deserve our respect and kindness. The Bush/Cheney criminals have done them ill.

For my part, I'd rather see HRC making these lower budget ads than the hateful negative ads she ran from Ohio to Penn and into Indiana. And I'd far rather her make these less expensive ads than have her spending lots more and running her campaign debt up that much farther.

It is time to heal. HRC and her husband will get the message that this race is over soon enough. Let's cut the two of them a little slack and let them play this thing out so long as they keep the negatives within bounds.

No more attacks on either side. Let's pivot to GE!! ---Richmond, CA (Sent Friday, May 09, 2008 7:32 PM)

The messages from Obama supporters have been 90% of the reason people have been turned off by his campaign. The longer and more they write, the less chance he has to gain any Hillary supporters' vote. Their arrogance indicates they have understood nothing Barack has said.
