Advertising and Politics

Hillary Clinton has released her new 3:00am ad.

My first question is; why release another version of an ad that was already ridiculed? Is the creative staff for the Clinton campaign so tired that they can’t come up with anything better or different?

After seeing the second 3:00am ad, my second question is; are you serious? The second 3:00am ad asks what would the president do if someone called at 3:00am to discuss the latest problem, economics. Yes, you read that right, Hillary has someone on her staff calling her at 3:00am to discuss economics. She wants you to know that John McCain wouldn’t pick up the phone. Please. John McCain wouldn’t pick up the phone if he had Hillary’s apparently incompetent staff. Who in the world would think to call the President of the United States at 3:00am to discuss home foreclosures?

This ad is one of the worst. Granted I am not exactly Hillary’s biggest fan, I find this ad embarrassing. I just cannot fathom how this ad is supposed to make me feel good that she would be the one to answer the call.
