New Hillary Ad Trumpets Her 17 Million Popular Vote Total
The Hillary campaign takes the popular vote argument to the airwaves with this new spot going up in Montana and South Dakota tomorrow morning that trumpets her 17 million vote total five times -- and is also titled "17 million"...
The spot also hits the electability note, saying that she won the votes of "17 million who want to beat John McCain."
The ad is a reminder that for the Hillary campaign, the last few weeks of the race -- and the Rules and Bylaws showdown yesterday -- were about nothing other than running up the popular vote in a last-ditch effort to argue that Democrats hadn't rendered a clear verdict on their choice of nominee.
To wit, the ad concludes: "Some say there isn't a single reason for Hillary Clinton to be the nominee. They're right. There are over 17 million of them."
