Go ahead and Vote for Obama....T­hen we will have President McCain...I can't believe that America
can't see through all his Crap...

Hillary '08

[Barbarossa03]

It's the other way around. If Clinton gets the nomination McCain will win by a landslide. Clinton doesn't have much appeal with the independents or the military for the fact of that matter

[Mindleftnumb]

haha.. pretty funny i say...the campaign could of used a lot more creativity like this earlier on....

[naturesway]

Hillary's Soprano ad was ground breaking. Admit it, Hillary is creative, smart and very cool.
and we love Jack. Go Jack and Go Hillary!

[TheInsomniac]

At first I thought that was a campaign ad, and then I saw the corpse at the end and realized it was a career montage.

[VOTER]

LOL!

[nieddu]

Jack got a lot older, he sure belong to the past generation like Hillary and McCain

[almondleaf]

Its become apparent that Obamatons lack for humor. sad.

WE LOVE JACK. WE LOVE HILLARY!

[LoRiseAntlers]

They should of had Jack answer that phone your girl couldn't seem to be able to answer in her last ad.

[willowbarcelona]

Oh, what a brillint post! Thank you!

Jack Nicholson could play a certain Mr. Taylor in Arkansas.

After he answers the phone, he wakes up the kids with

"Anyone want to go for a ride?"

[gun]

Jack is going down with the shipch

As a plug, he's too little and too late

She's already been down twice and on Tuesday it looks like #3

[mojopo]

Let see - you can't spell and you're a cynic. Republican, right?

GO HILLARY!

[elizaW]

If Obama supporters can make a sanctimonious video about their candidate, why can't Clinton's supporters make a clever, entertaining, humorous one to support their candidate?

[ripples]

clinton and her supporters just don't get it - nicholson, hillary, bill etc are all 'yesterday', the same old same old - the country wants change and his name is obama - it will all be painfully clear to the clinton camp around 10pm tuesday

[presto]

I'm yesterday too. You'll be yesterday tomorrow. Vote wisely.

I haven't read every single comment, but it seems like there's some over-reaction and over-thinking going on here. There isn't much about this ad that's thoughtful, but it is fun -- at least for me -- and it seems like a way to get Hillary's name out there associated with something fun. Smart move, in my opinion, even though I'm a rabid Obama supporter. I can't say much for Jack's choice of Democrats, but when he's on screen, I pay attention. Too late to go for DeNiro now, it would be imitative. Clinton got the jump on this one, but we'll win the war.

[wagadog]

You people just don't get it do you!

It's a hit piece, and a very funny one, at that!

But it's labelled that "The Hillary Clinton Campaign released" it, so the Clinton Team Astroturf comes out to support it!

Funniest thing I've ever seen!

Jokes on you!

Someone packaged dogshit as "Hillary Chocolate" and now we're all getting a chance to watch you people eat it up!

[kellygrrrl]

LOL! ;)

[Tumerica]

I liked it--I got a kick out of the whole, campy thing. Too fun!

[prscnt1]

Ultimate Jack Nicholson! as Joker! The most despised character in Batman!

Hillary is doomed, his campaign managers should be fired on the spot. IT IS THE IMAGE THAT COUNTS! NOT WHAT IS SPOKEN!!

JOKER endorsing hillary!!! This is a complete failure to understand Psyc 101.

[independentNproud]

Great tribute to Jack Nicholson. What did he win?

[kellygrrrl]

what's next? Courtney Love and Britney Spears?

[realliberaldem]

Indeed. Ok, i like Jack, but this ad was retarded. He could have done better --A LOT BETTER-- though I'm GLAD he didn't. Tuesday guys and gals, this will all be over. YES WE CAN!

[whichchange]

Bob the builder, can we fix it, bob the builder, yes we can. Hardly original.

[flyguy14222]

I don't hink he would have derided the mentally retarded as you have, MORON!

[kellygrrrl]

the interesting thing is that the Hillary Clinton endorsements come across more as SPOOF than actual endorsement.

did anyone else ask themselves if Tina Fey's embrace of The Bitch was a dig or an embrace?

I'm still not sure.

[almondleaf]

Honey, if you couldn't tell from the tone, you've been hatin' the woman in you to long!

[wagadog]

Look, the people that Hil's been trying to play in the Hollywood Clinton Mafia are getting their own back at her for all the manipulations and fraud -- see hillcap.org

They're endorsing her right where it hurts. But she still hasn't figured it out yet. It's very, very funny.

Didn't you people study Julius Ceasar in High School? When Mark Antony repeatedly says "Brutus is an Honorable Man" he means just the opposite. It's a rhetorical trick, and not that hard to spot. She needs to beware the ides of March.

[VOTER]

Jack?

Okay, I will give it a C for clever.

Old Fart Jack at the very end proves this ad is just so so and geared for the over 60 Crowd, most

of whom probably haven't seen Jack's films or can't remember the lines.

The guy was a very good actor years ago but in recent years he isn't worth the pay.
