Hillary Clinton's ad gets the creative juices flowing

Spoofs aplenty of Hillary Clinton's "3 a.m. in the morning" ad are out and about -- proof that the spot resonated. And if Clinton goes on to win today's Ohio and Texas primaries, the ad no doubt will take its place in the pantheon of political commercials that made a difference.
Our favorite among the parodies so far is this one -- it makes a couple of excellent points that escaped us.
The takeoffs vary in quality and taste. Here are three others that caught our eye.

And let's be clear, if Obama wins Texas (where the ad ran), it also might be that the ad made a difference. It backfired.
Hillary should stop using Republican talking points.

If the phone rings at 3:a.m. Bill may answer just to verify it was not one of those pesky women such as Gennifer Flowers trying to contact him - again.

When do we get covergae on Hillary's latest attack? The one where she stated that "she and John McCain offered experience and Obama offered a speech in 2002?" Hillary offered her lifetime of expericene". 1) Hillary's lifetime of experience consists of 16 years as a corporate lawyer. Is any decent corporate lawyer "experienced" enough to be president of th US? 2) Rumsfeld and Cheney both offered a lifetime of true Washington experience. Do we want more of the same? 3) As a supporter of Clinton's noted tonight - Hillary's statement is one a cadidate might make if they were seeking a place as John McCain's VP - not as the leader of a unified Democratic party.

The best video is Hillary on Saturday Night Live. She is pulling out all the stops. She will not stop until Obama is done and out. The Clinton's are a powerhouse that can't be stopped. They are BULLDOGS. Check out the video at

Clinton's experience as a first lady uniquely qualifies her for the position. People say they want something new? Well, President Clinton did a good job of running the country. In these recession headed towards a depression times, a Clinton is the best choice. Clinton has always fought for the people of the country. Obama talks trash, but what has he ever delivered, except flowery speeches? Change is needed. Hope is needed. But a lot more is needed, something Clinton brings to the table.
