3am Ad

Clinton won't be able to keep bashing Obama, at least not publicly, once the Democratic race is officially over and she has to put on her team-player-let's -bring-the-party-together act.

If the media were not distracted by Rev. Wright's controversial remarks, this comment would cause a huge backlash against Clinton.

The White House today released selected transcripts from several late night and early morning telephone conversations logged by various U.S. president...

Why is it that the lady is being asked to step aside when the gentlemen in a similar situation rarely were?

Much of the reaction to Sen. Clinton's 3 a.m. ad is from people who have never been involved in foreign policy and certainly never had to field such a call in a crisis situation.

It could be argued that the White House should cancel its red phone altogether and save the taxpayer unnecessary expenses.

Now, I'm not suggesting that Senator Clinton is really a Republican. As far as I know, and I take her at her word. But just for the hell of it, let's read the record.

The premise of the 3:00 a.m. commercial is that Senator Clinton's foreign policy credentials are significantly superior to Senator Obama's -- but is that really the case?

Samantha Power's silly slip of the tongue would have been a perfect time for Obama to show an unusal toughness, a rewriting of the rule book.

It will be difficult, the media argues, for Obama to repudiate Hillary's attacks without appearing to have abdicated the high ground.

Hey, have you heard? The little girl from the famous "3am phone call" ad is actually a grown-up supporter of Barack Obama! Which is, I guess, a TOTA...

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...

While Hillary Clinton's advisors have long and distinguished track records of success, Senator Obama's team is largely untested and clumsy -- a fact that is revealing itself as the campaign goes on.

How can Hillary ever join a ticket with Obama now that she has ranked him below the GOP's choice?

It will come as a surprise to many people that there are rules in politics. One of those rules is: Do not provide ammunition to the opposition party that can be used to destroy your party's nominee.

While some have rightly deplored the Karl Rovian campaign tactic, few have suggested that very premise of the ad is pure fiction, or have wondered what exactly the hypothetical crisis might entail.

The runaway train of the Democratic Party needs to stop. I think it was refreshing to see that Hillary recently mentioned the concept of a unity ticket, and I am dismayed that Obama would not consider a it yet.

The next president is going to have rebuild a lot of broken coalitions shattered by years of failed U.S. diplomacy to make that 3am call less of a threat to our sleeping kids.

I watched, transfixed, as she took the 3 a.m. call...and I was afraid...very afraid. Suddenly, I realized the last thing this country needs is that woman anywhere near a phone.

Clinton's campaign chose to edit selectively and thus grossly distort my words on her 3 a.m. ad in a video it sent to reporters and posted on YouTube. Senator McCain's campaign also misrepresented and manipulated my statement.

If this kind of television ad is what gets Ms. Clinton elected, we can count on more of the same from her administration in the military sphere.

Clinton's is the progressive politics of the last century: "I will fight for you." Because, God knows, you can't do it yourselves. Her story is, these poor little shlubs need me.

It doesn't matter it is 3 a.m. or 5 p.m., what matters is the right judgment at the right time.

"If I answered the red phone every time it rang, I would never get any sleep," Mr. Bush said. "Sometimes it starts ringing at 9 PM, and I am already tucked in by then."
