Strickland Pushes Clinton In New Ad

Hillary Clinton has a new ad out in Ohio, "Fighter," featuring the state's governor, Ted Strickland – a longtime Clinton friend who has been talked about as a potential vice president for the former first lady.

"We need a president, first of all, who's going to be a fighter," Strickland says in the spot. "That's the way I see Hillary Clinton. Hillary's always been an advocate for the middle class. She's got great plans to create new jobs in every part of Ohio."

Strickland goes on to describe Clinton as a "person of deep faith" who has "devoted her life to caring about other people" and is "fighting for us." Watch below:

Clinton also has a new Ohio radio spot out, "Faith," which also features Strickland – you can hear it here. Strickland again says Clinton "is a person of deep faith" who "understands Ohio very deeply."

Ohio voters go to the polls Tuesday, and a solid win there is considered essential for Clinton to have a legitimate shot at closing the gap on rival Barack Obama.
