Campaign AdWatch: Color Us Seduced!

Hillary Clinton's latest ad leads with a lot of bad news: we're at war, the economy is tanking, nobody has healthcare. But then something interesting happens. "And we can solve them," Clinton coos breathily, adding, "Men and women whispered their health care problems to me." By the same she softly offers, "And I would like to be that President," you're thinking, "Were those eyes always that piercing?" And with the fierce audacity of "Yowza!" you realize, "Dude! Hillary Clinton is so into me right now!"

Yeah, it's quite the come on. And that lighting! The color scheme! Brown coat and blonde mane setting off that blemish-free face. Clinton has arrived in Iowa on a cloud of MILFy satin to save America from "cowboy diplomacy." Mitt Romney pays a team of make-up artisans to keep him looking like Dorian Gray, and he never looks this good. This is the sort of craftsmanship that could have greatly benefitted a Ron Paul or a John McCain. I don't know who did Clinton's work, but if Fred Thompson had commissioned this makeup artist from day one, his campaign might have benefitted from him not looking like a wrinkled, parched-lipped amphibian from another planet.

The pitch closes with Clinton asking us to "stand with her for one night." Oh, my stars and garters! We get it, Senator. Are you sending that husband of yours to New Hampshire tonight? Will you make me breakfast in the morning? That "pie and coffee" you mentioned sure sounds yummy!

Hillary is about as sensual as the "Where's the beef," lady from the old Wendys commercials. Hopefully none of their worn out tactics and strategies will make any difference in those who actually pay attention. Her days are numbered and running out, Let's keep her put of things a give these new guys a chance to do the things they have announced for months they will do. Let's keep this America a place to be proud of and a safe place for future generations.

well it ain't over till the fat lady sings and folks theres a whole Opery to go yet, as for the half baked full suited and empty suit he won a narrow victory because of Kunichs caucuses voters. now we start getting into the really intresting stuff, this half baked semi white piex=ce shit now gets the full Monty exposure and he'll wilt under the klieg lites.

Richardson should fold throwing his supporters to Hillary, same with Dodd and Biden, this black scarecrow wont make it any further than what he has, hell he just barely made with Dennis help, naw hes gone by the third round.

I liked it a lot. Great delivery, focused and homey. She isn't trying to win over the Yale Debate Club for heaven's sake, she's trying to get Iowans to go out in the snow and caucus! The fact that this country (nearly) voted for GWB TWICE reminds me we aren't a nation of thinkers. We are basically a nation of nationalistic half-wits, who somehow still believe in America the experiment, and would love for it to pay off again. I think that all of the Dems on top of the pile as it were are fine choices, including Senator Clinton.

The only thing that alleviates the pain of watching it, is knowing what a pain it was for her taping it. I'm thinking, twelve takes, maybe more.

Millions of Americans have always known what a classy Lady Senator CLinton is.It is refreshing to have a woman running for the highest office in the land who can offer so much to our citizens.

She has many dimension's: intelligence,strong leadership abilities,extremely caring about the middle class,children,and women,and has left an uplifting spirit around the world in her travels.
You now see what a nasty job the media (Huff Post) can do on people they HATE.What a shame!
All people respect fairness, to evaluate the good qualities in each candidate.
Obama nor Edwards are ready or qualified to be the Leader of the free world.Senator Clinton is the one.

Watch her eyes flare open wide as she says "bring our sons and daughters home from Iraq." That means she's lying. She never met a defense contractor she didn't like.

Yeah, that's not sexist at all.

Oh, that's just too oozily sincere for words....which is scarier? Hill and Bill doing their same old routine again, or Rudy Giuliani with Dick Cheney as his runningmate?

Ah, me ... and I thought that HuffPo had already hit bottom! Congrats, Jason, you've set a new HuffPo standard for idiotically slanted anti-Hillary material.

(BTW: No, Jason, I'm not a Hillary supporter ... I just hate B.S.)

Yes indeed, it's the most peculiar political ad ever. What exactly is this woman running for? Or from?

It would seem that she wants to be the next Monica Lewinsky.

I guess Sharon Stone might have been right about Hillary after all, google it.
