New Clinton Advertisment Uses Debate Segment

Use of debate video after debates, formerly an Edwards' tactic, (reviewed in an earlier post, and review of post-debate spin) is again used in a new Clinton ad airing in Texas and Ohio today. The campaign issued a fund raising letter to raise $1.3 million to run the 60-sec spot.

The spot is entitled "resolved," showing her narrative about wounded veterans. It stopped short of showing a handshake and compliment of Obama or the ending-they'll be all right- a segment received by pundits as conciliatory, perhaps an opening for exiting the race. Appeasement seemingly was limited to the hour and half debate, exchanged immediately for provocation.

Ad and commentary below fold:

The Clinton debate ad makes the "experience" argument in a persuasive narrative, humble, involved, and informed.

This is her first use of debate clips since an unsuccessful web based ad following the Pennsylvania debate entitled "piling on."

It was pulled from her web site after drawing fire, but this did not deter groups from responding on YouTube. Independentvoters2008 (whoever they are) ran with the following.
