From the New Argument:

Casey Knowles, a High School Senior in Washington state, recently discovered she was one of the sleeping children in Clinton's controversial "Children" ad appearing prior to the Texas primaries.

Knowles, a supporter of Barack Obama was shocked that she had contributed to the national security message of a candidate that she passionately opposes.

When asked by The New Argument, this is what Knowles had to say about her appearance in Clinton's ad:

"While I love Hillary, I would much rather hear Barack Obama's voice at the other end of the phone at 3am.

Another misstep by the Clinton team. We have seen what happens when a leader (Bush) is surrounded by a team that does not do it's homework. Do we really want Hillary answering the phone when her team cannot accurately tell her the backstory?

The ads are silly, as we all know.

Here is a parody that actually is
kind of funny:

Obama's team could get really creative with this.

ADVICE TO OBAMA CAMPAIGN: GO NEGATIVE, BUT NOT PERSONAL.

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL UNDERSTAND THAT YOU NEED TO DEFEND YOURSELF AGAINST INCOMING ATTACKS FROM THE CLINTONS WHO WOULD STOP AT NOTHING TO GAIN POWER.

YOU WILL BE DOING AMERICA A FAVOR. SO ATTACK ON NOT RELEASING TAX RETURNS, DONORS TO CLINTON LIBRARY, FIRST LADY RECORDS. IF YOU ARE ATTACKED ON ETHICS RETURN FIRE WITH FIRE (HSU, CLINTON PARDONS, ETC.). ATTACK ON HER BEING DEVISIVE AND HER NOMINATION LEADING TO CONSERVATIVES GETTING RILED UP TO VOTE.
THE LIST CAN GO ON AND ON, ...

DO NOT DISARM AND CONTINUE TO TAKE INCOMING FIRE, WITHOUT RETURNING FIRE!!!



The "hillary group" doesn't seem to grasp exactly what she has done. I have never heard ANY dem candidate trash another dem candidate in favor of the repug nominee! NEVER. This is the most whacked thing Ms. "I am so honored to be on the stage with Barack Obama" has done yet! UNBELIEVABLE!

As a former (Bill) Clinton supporter throughout ALL of the 1990's (yes, even during the KEN STARR ERA...........), this form of post-victory pile-on and crowing from the HRC camp are totally disgusting, and I think this new stuff (MCCAIN IS SUCH A GREAT GUY... OBAMBA = KEN STARR etc) is the final straw for me personally. Up until now, I would have been a loyal Democrat like I always am and punched the button for her in November, despite the lack of enthusiasm and the misgivings... but now I don't think I can do it even if I hold my nose with a garlic strand around my neck.

If she pulls this off and manages to swindle the nomination, I will:

A. withdraw from the Democratic party rolls, cease contribution, and register as an independent.

B. Write-in Senator Obama's name in November and encourage all of my fellow Obama supporters and friends to do the same.

Five months is plenty of time to organize a write-in campaign.


The Clintonistas are treating the party (and have done this since the beginning- it was quaint at first but now it isn't funny) as if it were their own personal organization that they built and we're just their employees. We are called the DEMOCRATIC party for a REASON. Entitlement is not and should not be a part of our process. If that's what you want, why don't you follow Joe Lieberman over to the new "left" wing of the Republican Party- HRC clearly seems to be paying lip-service to that approach.

Super Delegates have a DUTY to their Party to defend it from enemies without and within.

Super Delegates have a DUTY to set limits on the morality, loyalty and decency of their candidates. If they do not respond to her support of a Republican in this campaign then they all deserve to be fired.

I would rather lose with an honorable Obama than win with a Traitorous McClinton.
Enough is enough. Set some standards of decency. Stand up to the Clinton slime machine, Get a grip and make a stand.

I think as Democrats we should petition the DNC to call for Mrs. Clinton's removal as a candidate since she has endorsed the Republican candidate thereby sabotaging not only Mr. Obama's candidancy, but her own as well. She's no Democrat, but a closet neocon Republican.

PHONE THE DNC: 1-202-479-5100

As Americans we should be outraged not only at the tactics of the Clinton campaign, but also at the audacity of elevating the candidate of the opposition party over a democratic candidate currently leading in delegate counts.


The Super Delegates should be running from Hillary and Bill Clinton. She has told them that she would rather tear the party down and endorse the Republican candidate than lose the primary to Obama.

YES WE CAN!

I would love to see a counter ad made by the Obama
Campaign with this young woman. It's a campaign ad
just begging to be made.
