Team Clinton Rushing Register Endorsement to Air
Hillary Clinton’s campaign is rushing radio and TV spots to air in Iowa to immediately capitalize on today’s Des Moines Register endorsement.
Radio spots could appear as early as Monday morning and TV spots will swiftly follow.
“Are you kidding, Mandy is already cutting the spots,” Jay Carson, Clinton’s traveling press secretary told me, referring to Clinton media strategist Mandy Grunwald. “We don’t have many days left. There’s no time to waste.”
The Register endorsement praised Clinton’s experience and bipartisan record in the Senate. The paper’s editorial board called her tested, electable and ready to lead from the start.
The radio and TV spots will highlight the Register’s unstinting praise of Clinton at a time when Clinton has shifted away from the “experience” narrative and toward a “change” narrative built around working for change as opposed to (Obama) hoping for it and (Edwards) demanding it.
Team Clinton will also use the door-to-door visits in Iowa from Clinton loyalists from New York and Arkansas for we videos and web ads that may become TV spots during the week between Christmas and New Year’s when the campaign knows it needs to create its most humanizing spots so as not to aggravate Holiday-happy Iowans.

[...] Register’s endorsement on Saturday night; by Monday, they were airing a TV ad in Iowa (as first reported by Major Garrett). There are less than three weeks to the caucuses, after all. No idea what she’s supposed to [...]
I see Hillary trying to get back to the White House and think about all the lying, police-state tactics, use of private investigators to gather dirt and wipe out her political opponents, abuse of power, Whitewater, Travelgate, and other scandals of the Clinton White House too numerous to mention. The thought of her at the helm is scary–very scary.
Before you cast your vote, please consider the following about the first Clinton co-presidency:
• The Clintons were more concerned about what they could get from the presidency instead of honoring their responsibilities to this country. At the end of their term they were multi-millionaires. Ever wonder how they got so wealthy?
• Think about how they sold our military secrets, how they exchanged pardons for Puerto Rican votes in New York, freeing some of the worst criminals just so Hillary could have what she thinks she is entitled to. Will our democracy survive another four years of them?
• Hillary loves to play the victim–of Bill, of the Republican vast right-wing conspiracy, of all the Bimbos who sleep with Bill, etc. Can a victim be an effective president?
• Hillary’s long-suffering marriage to Bill, enabling him to have numerous sexual trysts — not just a one-time dalliance with Monica — results in her sense of entitlement. Do we want a president who feels the job is rightfully hers just because she’s suffered through 35 years of marriage to Bill?
• Hillary claims to be tough enough to play with the boys when, in fact, she is unable to leave a cheating husband. How will she stand up to other men who walk all over her?
• Hillary attacks her opponents with lies and innuendo far more than she talks about how she would attempt to cure America’s ills. What is her plan…does she even have one?
• Hillary has no experience. Being married to a president does not make one qualified to be president. As a married woman, I cannot relate to a woman who stays in a sick marriage so she can capitalize on her husband’s success, then pretend she did it on her own. She gives no specifics about her experience. More dodging accountability.
• Fact: She’s held elected office for one Senate term and has introduced no major legislation during that time. Is this the kind of experience we want in the Oval Office?
Hillary is not what she pretends to be. She is spinning her image — the same tactics Bill used on an unsuspecting American people the first time around. We should be smarter than that now. Do we really want them in the White House again?
Cast your vote wisely in 2008.
MAJOR- On your supporting the death penalty in Massaschusetts, New Jersey responded by trying to overturn theirs. Note that the attack on “Hillary’s” office occured outside the Governor’s Inn – ROchester, New Hampshire where you decided to publicly call for that penalty. Any man that wears makeup shouldn’t be worried about that penalty anyway.
I’M of course a women, but I can-not see a women in the white house? I would not vote for Hillary Clinton, even though she stands by her man. Barrack Obama is the way to go this year? I think he may be the one to finish the King legacey after watching the show last night on the History Cannel with Tom Brokaw.
