From the New Argument:

Casey Knowles, a High School Senior in Washington state, recently discovered she was one of the sleeping children in Clinton's controversial "Children" ad appearing prior to the Texas primaries.

Knowles, a supporter of Barack Obama was shocked that she had contributed to the national security message of a candidate that she passionately opposes.

When asked by The New Argument, this is what Knowles had to say about her appearance in Clinton's ad:

"While I love Hillary, I would much rather hear Barack Obama's voice at the other end of the phone at 3am.

Why is Hillary up at 3:00 AM? Waiting for Bill to come home?

Didn't we already see this trifling, irrelevant set-piece in a diner somewhere, starring a waitress who did (or didn't) get a suitable tip?

Who cares what this teenaged face model thinks, especially since she gurgled -- in a TV news interview -- that she'd love to do a campaign spot with Obama?

Quick! Call her publicist!

How about the camera operator, or the lighting guy - are they Obama or Clinton supporters? Inquiring minds want to know.

Another great decision by the Clinton campaign-- With all the money they have raised, they buy footage of a sleeping child that is what ,10 years old ( when Bill Clinton was President ) Who is she, a modern day Rip Van Winkle? . Guess the phone rang a bit more than 6 times!

Interesting. So Hillary used this person's photo without bothering to get permission? Isn't that illegal?

The little princess was paid when the footage was originally shot, and the producers PAID Getty Images for its use. That's why they call it "stock" library footage.

Wake up.

I watched the interview on TV, she is an Obama supporter and she is active in his campaign.

She even mentioned something about having a counter Ad with Obama, interesting girl, very intelligent indeed.

This is a non issue. It was a stock clip. Certainly the Clinton campaign should have used actual supporters, or at least people who believed the message. For crying out loud, they were just actors.

Ask Sen Clinton about her bringing peace to Ireland and her role in it. That is the experience I would like her to be more specific about. Or, was it just tea and crumpets, and accepting a tea pot?

What has Sen Clinton said about the massacre at the Yeshiva in Israel? What has Sen Clinton said about Venezula, Colombia and Ecuador? And yes, what has Sen Obama and Sen McCain said about it? Pres Bush?

Dag nabit I am a voter and I want to know what the candidates think about real freakin' issues. Things that have real meaning.

How ironic - This is awesome. HRC has egg on her face.

I guess you can say this diminishes the impact of this ad. Good. Now we don't have to see it anymore.

I'm certain that all the kids in that ad and possibly even the 'mother' are Obama Supporters. It would be hilarious if this were true for all of them....they should all get together to make a counterad against Clinton. That would be FABULOUS!

So I guess we know who she wants to answer the phone

OBAMA
