I don't know where idiotic is, but I'll do it for him:

Damn. I got owned. I apologize for not having the snarkmeter switched to "on." =(

We "owe it to her"? We don't owe her anything--she is continuing her doomed campaign and driving a huge wedge between the Democratic Party.

I bet you'll also say that she "deserves" the presidency, too. As if anyone could.

If you're right, then that's a brilliant use of this ad.

Greg, do you know if this ad will actually be running in Texas, or is this just a get-free-media ad?

By "brutal," I think he means, in netspeak:

PWNED.

If they're going to run this ad, they should actually hold it a day to let it run in Texas and get coverage on the local evening news. Then you air it the next day, so that it's clear that the ad is a response to Hillary instead of a stand-alone ad.

In the meantime, though, it's a decent tactic (as someone has said below) to release the ad on the internet so that the cable shows show both ads instead of only Hillary's.

Yeah, I did see that ad, which is why I reference it in my original post.

I mean that I'm not sure I like him using the same "phone ringing at 3 AM" meme.

I'm not sure I like buying into the "children are sleeping and some crazy shit is happening" meme, but this is an effective response to Hillary's ad.

You would have thought they would have learned their lesson. Going negative hasn't worked for her for about a month or more now, while going positive and showing some tenderness is what won her New Hampshire.

When your candidate has higher negatives than positives, it's probably not a good idea to go on the attack to drive up your negatives. Just some basic campaign logic.

These mailers have been out for weeks. Why bring them up now?

It probably means that her internals are getting troubling, and that she's getting hammered on her support for NAFTA.

Guess that Hillary from the end of the last debate was just an act after all. If anything, this attack probably hurts her more than helps her if it distracts away from that faux-positive attitude she displayed.
