Hillary Unveils Another 3 A.M. Ad, This One On The Economy
It's 3 A.M. And the phone's ringing in the White House.
Again.
On a conference call with reporters just now, the Hillary campaign unveiled a new ad for Pennsylvania featuring another ringing phone, only this time the emergency in question concerns the economy, and the target of the ad isn't Obama, but McCain...
What would happen if the economic red phone and the national security red phone both rang at the same time? Who would be better equipped to handle that?
Seriously, though the original 3 A.M. ad came under some criticism, the Hillary campaign is not only sticking with this approach, but they're also claiming that one goal of the current ad is to remind Pennsylvanians of the last one.
"It will remind people of the previous ad they've heard about," Hillary chief strategist Mark Penn said on the call.
Also on the call, Hillary advisers acknowledged that they expect to be outspent two-to-one in the state. "We will not have the resources that Senator Obama has," said Hillary spokesperson Howard Wolfson, adding that they also expect to be badly outgunned in Indiana and North Carolina.
Late Update: Here's some audio of the whole Clinton campaign conference call. Enjoy.
