Hillary Airs New Ad In Pennsylvania Hitting Obama's "Small-Town" Comments
Hillary chief strategist Geoffrey Garin told us in an interview over the weekend that Obama's "small town" comments were fair game for use in a political ad, and Hillary has now gone up with a new spot in Pennsylvania doing just that....
The ad features ordinary Pennsylvania residents expressing their displeasure with Obama's comments, with one saying she's "very insulted" by them, and another castigating Obama as "out of touch."
The ad also hits the religion button pretty hard, with the narrator stressing that word when reading Obama's original quote. The ad also includes this from a Pennsylvanian:
"I'm not clinging to my faith out of frustration and bitterness. I find that my faith is very uplifting."
Full script after the jump.
HRC: I'm Hillary Clinton and I approve this message.
Anncr: Barack Obama said that people in small towns "cling to guns or religion...as a way to explain their frustrations..."
