In related news, Bill told Monica, "talk is cheap, let me stick this Cuban in you."

Team Clinton, real creative bunch with good accountants!

It actually is a pretty good ad. It wouldn't make me vote for her but it might give me some confidence in her if I did not already have an opinion of her.

Come on.

No one has done more for the American consumer than Barack Obama.

A Village in Clintonia has lost it's Idiot.

Gotalife; they say that they want you to return home!!!

Obama voted for cheney's energy bill, Clinton voted no.

Talk is cheap, so is the kool aid.

Actions speak louder than kool aid.

"With gas this expensive, I should be getting MORE bribe money from the oil companies"

You're asking WAY too much.

Look folks, Obama's talent is grassroot fundraising not politics.

Her pantsuits look cheap.

Her talk is as cheap as his. Where's the difference? She offers no more detail than he does. No, wait--if you take out the earplugs and listen, even while stammering through capital gains answers in last week's "debate" Obama gave as good as she did, just not as smoothly.

What the hell is she doing but talking? It's just a tagline, and a cheap one at that.

Our gas is $3.98. On a local AM station in San Francisco they tell you where to find the cheapest prices. Today one station was selling regular at $3.86. That's the lowest you'll see. Many stations are above $4.00. We're expecting at least $4.25 by summer.

The best part of Clinton's $10M dollar fundraising day after her single digit win in Rick Santorum's home state is that her campaign was $5M and change further in debt than they were telling people . . . SO:

While the Clintons are generating personal wealth from the Iraq inflated gas prices . . . the poor and statistically less educated folk are bearing the brunt of her inability to figure figures . . . Whether they be cash, gas OR delagate math.

In Senator Clinton's case, talk is expensive . . . very expensive.

Hey! She's getting MORE farging numbers wrong! No wonder she's following Grandpa McCain's lead on economic issues.

The only thing that could make this ad any better would be for the blood of the 4,000+ soldiers who've died because of The Monster's idiocy to stream down the screen.

Great stuff, Hitlery. You go girl!

It's a decent ad. But Obama's is at least as good, if not better, and his will run more often. Because his campaign isn't drowning in debt.

Greg
I feel sorry for you brother. This has GOT to be the shittiest writing gig for your talent level on the internet that includes a "comments" section.

Free yourself from the rusty shackles and the cumbersome bridles of TPM! In the stable since March 6th, 2008. For what!?!

Straight from the Horse's Mouth, Greg!

Run Greg! Run FREE!!

Yeee--ee--aa-chh-hh!!!

Here's an idea for a Hillary ad...

Hillary and Chelsea are running around a Bosnian air strip, dodging sniper fire.

The camera cuts to a shot of Bill in a tree with a Red Ryder BB gun.

"Obama had his chance in ohio & pennsylvania, he failed and he will fail in indiana too....

Yeah, Minnesota, Colorado, Wisconsin, Illinois, Washington, Oregon, Missouri and the entire African American vote won't mean anything in the next election because The Monster's going to win Indy.

You're late for your Mensa meeting, Corky...

Hillary will solve the high cost of energy the same way McSame would:

Bomb, bomb, bomb, Bomb Iran.

How's that working for us, by the way? Gotalife?

McCAIN IS OFF HIS ROCKER. HE DEFINITELY HAS DEMENTIA. CHECK THIS OUT.

It's funny how everyone says this race is over and Clinton supporters still don't get it. I understand the elderly people who aren't online can be fooled by Hillary. But really, how could someone be online and be that uninformed? The election is a done deal, and everybody knows it but these silly Clinton supporters who think their emotions are all that matter. I imagine them sucking their thumb, rocking back and forth saying "It's not true, It's just not true. Mommy...I mean...Hillary tell me it's not true!"

I would have figured it out by the end of February if it was reverse and expected Obama to suspend his campaign. And yes I would have been disappointed, but accepting disappointment = being an adult.

Too close???? Considering Hillary picked up 9 delegates out of Pennsylvania, and Obama has picked up 3 superdelegates since then, how do you see her catching up? It's not close at all. That's just the point. Do you see a lot of superdelegates running her way? How many has she picked up since Super Tuesday? The superdelegates are not going to come out and save her.

So how will McCain try to win via Karl's help, ramp it up.

okay lets be serious, the reason our oil/gasoline is so damn high is because of this damn war.

The unstableness that we created in teh middle east in the last 6 years have made OPEC prices skyrocket.

and our continued effort to turn the Middle East into a democracy we now our resorting to alternate fuel methods using our crops for fuel and are now driving up the prices of our food in stores, 3rd world countries that we export goods to our now facing starvation due to the high prices set on the tarrifs.

Gracious sakes, a gas tax holiday is a horrible idea. Gas is becoming so expensive because demand is growing faster than supply. Price increases are the natural and healthy way that the market self-corrects. If you do an end run around the price increases you will perversely drive up demand even further, so that the root cause of the price hikes will only grow worse and come back to bite you hard in the @$$. In other words, this strikes me as a horrible ad. I hope that folks do not reward this sort of pandering, as it is in no one's long-term best interests.

Talk is as cheap as Hillary's claim of electabilty...TIME TO FACE FACTS !!!! The media has diagnosed every demo there is....the old...the young...the rich....the poor...the educated....the uneducated....the bowlers, gun toters and beer drinkers.....And somehow ALWAYS finds a way to give the advantage to Clinton. But just today, the media is finally starting to raise the most incredible point in the whole race. HILLARY HAS LOST THE SUPPORT OF AN ENTIRE RACE OF PEOPLE !!!!!!!! Do you know how incredibly sad this fact is ? Hillary Clinton (who's husband was so loved as to have been called The First Black President) has alienated the black people of America to such a degree that there is no way blacks will support her EVER. This has nothing to do with Obama !!!! Keep in mind folks....Hillary started this campaign with close to 82% of the black support. But as blacks learned more about her (Goldwater Girl....Against Civil Rights Act of '64...etc.) combined with her LBJ statements and Bill's minimizing of Obama (fairy tale...Jesse won S.Carolina too...etc) blacks were first of all shocked...and then incredibly offended by these realities to a degree that can never be recovered. WE FEEL DECEIVED !!!! We hope that our friends of all races understand how we as blacks feel. This is the main story that needs to get out to the superdelegates. Now, people across America are contacting the DNC to let them (and superdelegates) know that Hillary ABSOLUTELY KILLED HER ELECTABILTY. You can too...Call the DNC 202-863-8000 TODAY. Let them know that there's no way Hillary can be electable since she has sadly alienated andd lost the support of an entire race of Americans. The truth is the truth !

re the gas tax - she's not saying to suspend it, that's what McCain says, she is saying to have it be paid by the gas companies.

Rasmussen today has a poll showing that the average voter trusts McCain over either Democrat when it comes to handling the economy. What that means is that the average American doesn't want to pay higher taxes or higher capital gains tax, and they feel that voting Democratic will mean they will pay higher taxes. Never mind that Republican mismanagement leads to economic meltdowns that cost Americans more money in the end, and Republican arrogance in foreign affairs costs American lives and health, etc, etc... the fact is that if you don't pander you lose.

Gas prices per gallon:

April 2008 = $3.40

June 2008 = $3.80

August 2008 = $4.20

September 2008 = $3.60

October 2008 = $3.00

November 2008 (thru election day) = $2.60

December 2008 = $4.40

Happens every time and we, or a good percentage of us, fall for it.

Hillery can not win--its over.

If I'm listing to starboard then the SS Obama has sunk! Those so called right wing talking points have indeed taken place. Hey who did you vote for in the '88 election primary?? I am so right wing and racist that I voted for Jesse Jackson. I still think he has his shit more together than Obama! Throw Obama a life jacket!

None of these policies will work, or will bring down the price of gas.

Investing in clean energy technology is great, but has little to do with the enormous amount of infrastructure and entrenched behavioral patterns that lead to a huge demand for gasoline, nor will it abate growing demand from the emerging BRIC economies. Not to mention that she talks about using the "windfalls" from oil compay profits to do this...how exactly?

As some have mentioned, suspending the gas tax is a bad idea. It will increase demand, and increased demand with a constant supply means that prices of gas will rise, so when the gas tax is re-instated the price of gas will actually be higher than it was. More importantly, the price increase can be tied directly to this policy initiative. So she wants a policy which will RAISE prices of gas in the future? Um...not good.

Investigating the oil compaines will lead nowhere, and she knows it. First of all, it may just be that the market for oil is creating that price, without any collusion from oil companies (if you're looking for collusion, look no further than the supply quotas of OPEC, and she can't do anything about that). Investigations are done by congress. Oil companies have bought and paid for enough congressional seats that nothing will come of this.

So, for such a "policy wog" it seems strange to me that she puts forward three BAD policies in one commercial.

Can someone clarify? If djamo says that subsidizing farmers for corn was part of that energy bill, well isn't that so we can have BIOFUEL? An alternative source? People, even Clinton supporters to percieve that she has attacked unfairly. Yes perhaps the fairy tale comment was spun, but I think that there were other things that the Clinton's have done that have been percieved as unfair in the African American community and even in PA (by working class whites who thought she unfairly attacked).

The American people are fair and good people. Yes they'll vote for someone like Clinton, but they know full-well her faults. I think going negative turns people off.

Next time you fill up your tank ask yourself, how could Oilbama vote for Dick Cheney's Energy bill?Oilbama is directly to blame for the higher oil prices.
