New Ads - Hillary goes negative, Obama positive

No one should be terribly shocked. Hillary's new ad, playing in both Indiana and North Carolina, uses the gas tax and mortgage crisis to promote the message Obama does not care what's happening to American families. To do this, of course, she both distorts his record and aligns herself with John McCain.

Odd moments she finds to side with McNasty. They both also thought auhorizing the invasion of Iraq was a good idea.

Obama's ads are about what his goals are as president; the second ad focuses on veterans and the work he's done in the Senate to care for returning veterans. He's lets slide the opportunity to note that the need to care for so many "wounded warriors" is because of Clinton's calamitous vote: he's not concerned with attacking her but with advancing his own campaign of hope.

Ask me again: Why am I supporting Barack Obama? And why am I so terribly disappionted in Hillary Clinton?

There are two excellent, completely positive ads for Indiana, available for viewing at the Obama website
