Clinton Ad Casts Pundits As Out of Touch
(CBS)
From CBS News’ Ryan Corsaro:
LOS ANGELES -- Hillary Clinton released a new ad in Oregon today that casts political pundits as out of touch with what voters in that state care about.
The ad, entitled “What’s Right,” suggests that voters should ignore “pundits in Washington” and shows video of ABC News’s George Stephanopoulos, MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, and Tim Russert.
“In Washington, they talk about who's up and who's down,” the ad’s announcer says. “In Oregon, we care about what's right and what's wrong.”
The ad goes on to list Clinton’s proposals to end No Child Left Behind, create a universal healthcare system, and says she opposed a Bush energy bill to control liquefied gas sites on Oregon’s coast.
The ad highlights a frustration the Clinton campaign is suffering from as they try to continue to gain support through the six primaries running up to June 3rd – the date through which she has vowed to stay in the race. The Clinton campaign has become increasingly aggravated with members of the media who deduce that she has little chance of regaining her lead in the delegate count and pulling ahead of Senator Obama.
After last week’s primaries in North Carolina and Indiana, “Meet the Press” moderator Tim Russert declared that Barack Obama would ultimately win his party’s nomination based on the results in those states, saying “we now know who the Democratic nominee will be.” Clinton lost North Carolina and only won Indiana by a small margin.
After a night of speaking with fundraisers and asking for financial support in Los Angeles, Clinton travels to Eugene, Junction City, Salem, and Portland, Oregon, today to hold public campaign events. She will participate in a televised town hall meeting this evening with a local Portland television station in advance of Tuesday’s primary, where 52 delegates are up for grabs.
Tomorrow she will hold events in Kentucky, which also goes to the polls Tuesday, and has 51 delegates.
A vote or endorsement for this rookie car salesman is a vote/endorsement for WRIGHT, REZKO, AYERS, AND FARAHKHAN%u2026..OBAMA is dishonest and disgrace. He does not deserve my vote! WAKE UP DEMOCRATS, %u2026

I now have it from two three sources close to senior Republicans that they have video dynamite%u2013Michelle Obama railing against %u201Cwhitey%u201D at Jeremiah Wright%u2019s church. Republicans may have a lousy record when it comes to the economy and the management of the war in Iraq, but they are hell on wheels when it comes to opposition research. Someone took the chance and started reviewing the recordings from services at Jeremiah Wright%u2019s United Church of Christ. Holy smoke!! I am told there is a clip that is being held for the fall to drop at the appropriate time. The last thing Barack and Michelle need is a new clip that raises further questions about her judgment and temperament. Here%u2019s what the Republicans are currently using in Tennessee:
It would be UN-Democratic to not seat their Delegates.
It would be UN-Democratic to not give Hillary Clinton the Delegates proportionate to the votes that she won.
It would be an insult to our intelligence to suggest a 50/50 split or anything less than the delegates Hillary Clinton was given by the vote of the people.
We are well aware that Barack Obama went out of his way to remove his name from the Michigan ballet in an attempt to nullify our votes.
We are well aware that Obama contacted his campaign workers in Michigan and had them urge voters to mark the "none of the above" box on the ballet. He asked them to hold rallys and make radio announcements in an attempt to steal votes from Hillary Clinton.
We are aware that thousands of Hillary Clinton supporters did not even vote in response to being told their vote would not count.
We are well aware that it was Obama himself who denied Michigan and Florida the chance to have a re-vote.
Don''t make us the Democratic Party that decided the American Flag would go back to having only 48 stars.
Im trying to post this everywhere i can because I''m scared sh*tless. We have to prevent this folks!!!
I hated 8 years of George Bush. I was nauseous most of the time. Have you ever smelled rotting human flesh? I would rather walk into a sealed tight house in 100 degree heat that had 10 rotting dead bodies stacked up on the other side of the door and set down and eat a tuna fish and mustard sandwich...instead of having Bush in office a day longer. YET! I would rather have Bush in office the rest of my life than to have Obama in the White House for 1 day.
I realize that sounds harsh, but it looks like some of us are going to have to get a little harsh in order to shake our leadership into the reality of the situation and out of DENIAL.
We have to do whatever is needed to be done in order to get these people to take us seriously.
SO LETS DO IT PEOPLE!!!!
and they''re doing a pretty good job of it.

Besides, next time it could be your state.

The stuff that Obama admitted to in the two books he
wrote is enough to lose him the election. But has
anyone heard anything about either of these writings
by a major National Television Station????
NO! Because they are setting on it until Hillary is
out of the picture and Obama will lose the Presidency
by the largest margine yet. And anyone who can''''t
see that and continues to believe otherwise after
reading those two books are being FOOLISH!!!!

See all 31 CommentsAction speaks louder than words. I was on another
web site last night and the Hillary supporters were
talking about REGISTERING AS REPUBLICANS AND NOT
COMING BACK TO THE PARTY UNTIL HILLARY GETS THE
NOMINATION.
This way it would be harder for the DNC to just
brush us off by saying we''''ll eventually all rally
around Obama......No Way, Nobama!!
I''m going tomorrow and register as a Republican. If
you''re not already registered as a Democrat, you can
first register as a Democrat and a day or two later,
register as a Republican. It will show up as a lost
member on the Democratic Membership Roll by the
end of the week.
Sounds like a plan to me!!
