Now here they are...

The robocall features Clinton's comments about John McCain having the experience to be CIC and Obama not having done anything but giving a speech. It is being run in PA and FL in areas which strongly favored Hillary.

Not to rag on Hillary, but she should have never made such a statement. Yes, it was made in the primary battle to help herself, but she should have been smarter than to have complimented McCain. At that point it was her fighting for survival, but now the disregard and reckless nature of that statement is clearly shown.... just as many of us said when we called Hillary on this back during the primary (and were harshly criticized for it).

Yes it is, but Hillary, the savvy politician that she is, knew the risk. In fairness, she was in survival mode, but now the fallout comes to realization.

Had the comments been used heavily early they could have hurt Obama, at this stage negative is certain to backfire because people will only accept attacks they already believe.

the Clinton's are jerks...

People like Obama and Jerry Brown care about people

The Clinton's only cared about themselves and the Bush's.

I agree, this is a last ditch effort to throw the whole kitchen at Obama...a little may stick, but most of this has probably been disregarded by the majority of voters as a result of the primaries.....it's too little too late.......
