Hillary’s New Campaign Ad: Obama is Scared of Me

Hillary updated her facebook page today:

“In Case You Missed It: Hillary accepted an invitation to debate Sen. Obama in Wisconsin, but Sen. Obama refuses to debate Hillary in Wisconsin.”

You can view the new TV commercial below. Pretty timid by attack ad standards, but the underlying message is she’s tougher and he’s afraid to fight.

Another posting to her facebook page tries to convince us that despite what we’ve read and seen and heard,the campaign has not hit dire straights:

“As history shows, the Democratic nomination goes to the candidate who wins the most delegates – not the candidate who wins the most states.

“In 1992, Bill Clinton lost a string of primaries before clinching the nomination. He ceded Iowa, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maryland, Arizona, Washington, Utah, Colorado, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Delaware, Vermont and South Dakota.

“Similarly, in 1984, Walter Mondale also lost a series of major primaries before winning the nomination, including New Hampshire, Vermont, Florida, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Wisconsin, Indiana, Virginia, South Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi, Colorado, Ohio, and California.

“And in 1976, Jimmy Carter lost twenty-three states before winning the nomination, including: Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, West Virginia, South Carolina, Alabama, Illinois, Mississippi, Minnesota, North Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, California, Arizona, Alaska, Hawaii, and Utah.”

So just because you’re losing, it doesn’t make you a loser.
