Magic On Clinton's Team In South Carolina

CBS News Chief Political Consultant and Atlantic blogger Marc Ambinder reports that Magic Johnson has a new radio ad in South Carolina endorsing Hillary Clinton – and implying that Barack Obama is an untested rookie.

"My rookie year, we won our first game on a last second shot," Johnson says in the spot. "I was so hyped. But the captain of my team said, 'take it easy rookie, it's a long season, it's a long road to the championship.' He was right. Winning comes from years of hard work and preparation."

It's worth noting that, as Ambinder's skeptical commenters point out, Johnson's team won the NBA Championship his rookie season. You can listen to the spot here.

teacherjrc - I feel horribly sad for your students if you are able to abandon all of the issues that are important to you and vote for a Republican rather than Hillary Cllinton. Frannkly, that just makes you look ignorant. Hate her or love her - abandoning your conscience is pathetic. I hope you find your way.

The words of a pro, you hit the mark. But don''t forget that we do have to congratulate the real men out their for supporting Clinton. And theres more of them then people think. Does it really matter if a male or Female does the job? Not hardly,since the beginning of time both men and women have worked equally hard to survive.

Boy! When it comes to a women winning something that has typically been a man''s field, all the shovenistic bigots come out of the woodwork. Are they afraid Hillary will prove the job can be done by a woman better than a man?
Sure sounds that way, like the males are scared to death they are going to be shown up, thus, have to get nasty. Your insecurity is showing, fellas!
