And the underlying point was that the old political machine no longer holds all the power.". I agree with his view of Obama and of Clinton. However, I feel that "if" Obama's camp "really" didn't know about this beforehand, that De Vellis damaged Obama's campaign by leaving room for doubt. This is one more slam which will help Obama and Clinton cancel each other out. He "is" correct that "the old political machine no longer holds all the power", but this renegade act was still an "old political machine" tactic.http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/03/21/97373.aspx#97531Thu, 22 Mar 2007 03:34:23 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:97531Sierra, San FranciscoIt was a great ad!! It showed Hillary's followers as brain dead zombies. It showed Hillary mouthing ridiculous inanities. "a conversation with you" "American team" "exactly where I stand" The Bush dynasty has been a disaster for America.... A Clinton dynasty might be just as bad. She won't apologize for her Iraq vote (She didn't make a mistake, she was just "mislead") and she says we'll need to keep the troops there a little longer. Can you say opportunist? How about self serving?http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/03/21/97373.aspx#97706Thu, 22 Mar 2007 12:55:31 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:97706scott, winona mnIt's all very interesting...what will this campaign become?

I think the ad will mean little. I agree the most damage is the two main candidates are another step closer to canceling each other.

She tosses malcontents out of her fund raisers. When opponent’s supporters get a little too loud or popular at Democratic functions her supporters just sort of usher them out of the way. She will end the war, (notice she gives no time table) but keep a military force in the region. Unauthorized biographies all say she was a bit of a play ground bully who wasn’t averse to using a little physical force to get her way; supposedly she even slapped her first boyfriend for giving away one of her six bunnies without her say so. She loves money and doesn’t mind bending the rules a little bit to get some. By taking the nice furniture from the White House when she left and not bringing it back until the press gave her a bad time she obviously believes in asking for forgiveness rather than for permission. So those are all pluses. She says she will take big business to task, which won’t happen. She claims she will put into place universal health care which again probably won’t happen, even with a Democratic controlled house and senate. Those are the negatives, but will be fun to watch. And just for PURE entertainment Tony and Hugh Rodham will be along for the ride, except now they will be the First Brothers, I can hardly wait for their special brand of high jinks. Need a pardon, get your orders in early. Tony and Hugh and get the pardon you deserve. I would be remiss to leave out former First Brother. For Clinton investigators, Roger is the gift that keeps on giving. Last week,(according to Time) the House Government Reform Committee wrote him asking about his role in clemency pleas made by six convicted felons, including Rosario Gambino, a jailed New Jersey restauranteur reputed to be a soldier in the Gambino crime family. Committee documents show that Rosario Gambino's daughter wrote a $50,000 check to one of Roger Clinton's companies in September, 1999, some months after Roger sought leniency from the U.S. Parole Commission for Rosario, who is serving a 45-year sentence for heroin trafficking. Finally, what do you all think ole Bill will do to occupy himself while Hill is busy running the country? Bill kind of reminds me of an old hound we had once. He wasn’t good for much other than howling at the moon and running rabbits, and licking himself. You hated him for it, but how could you blame him, because you know a hound has got to do what a hound has got to do. Yep, she is probably has more sack than most of the Republicans running and the side shows will be pure entertainment. You go girl. I think you got my vote. http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/03/21/97373.aspx#98075Thu, 22 Mar 2007 15:58:42 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:98075hollywood2007dave, the smoke from the smokies must be getting to you, you do mean, lying cowards, army after action reports clearly debunk their lies, they were paid lairs, who ironiclly supported the , the vice president of draft dogging, and my daddy says I don't have to go President. wonderful examples aren't they. http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/03/21/97373.aspx#98242Thu, 22 Mar 2007 17:21:58 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:98242Rufus Gibbons, Kennett, Mo.Rick are you still spreading that "Clinton's trashed the white house story"? A republican senator asked the GAO to get an accounting of everything they had "stolen" and he would see that they paid for it. The GAO investigated and said no one in the white knew of anything that was missing. When Clinton was president the Republicans blamed him for everything but the weather, that they blamed on el nino however Newt Gingrich blamed Clinton for el nino.

You might also consider realizing that 1) no one cares about the faux scandals of the Clinton era as they are completely irrelevant to the present situation and 2) try not to publicly state your desires to see a continuance of American policy disfunction. http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/03/21/97373.aspx#98876Thu, 22 Mar 2007 23:16:39 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:98876Dave, TnRule # 6,000,963,002 Republicans can not bring up anything about Clinton, but we reserve the right to bring up Watergate and Nixon at every turn.

How is his ad wonderfully creative? He copied an ad and changed the face on the screen. He anonymously put it out on the web, allowing all kinds of speculation. Low down, I'd say. Maybe Bush or Karl Rove will hire him. He'd fit in well.
