Hillary Clinton 3AM Ad

The Clinton campaign ad featuring a 3 a.m. telephone call as a metaphor for experienced leadership in foreign policy has generated considerable comment, but much of the reaction is from people who have never been involved in foreign policy and certainly never had to field such a call...

There has been considerable controversy lately over who in the next administration should be answering the White House phone at 3 in the morning. Although Hillary's advisors contrived that commercial in order to raise doubts about Obama's inexperience, the strategy seems to have backfired. No one on the team seems...

It is 3:00 in the morning, the phone is ringing in the White House and do you know where the facts are? Senator Clinton scored a big victory in the Ohio primary due in large part to her retread of a Mondale commercial asking "who do you want to answer...

Much discussion has been devoted to the Clinton campaign television ad that asks "who do you want answering the phone" when a global crisis strikes. It's a critically important question -- and a smart campaign tactic.

But too few people have focused on what may be a more important...

It will come as a surprise to many people that there are rules in politics. Most of those rules are unwritten and are based on common understandings, acceptable practices, and the best interest of the political party a candidate seeks to lead. One of those rules is this: Do not...

Here's an idea for an Obama ad: a montage of Clinton's Sybillish personalities that have surfaced during the campaign with a solemn voiceover at the end saying, "Does anyone want this nut answering the...

Last night on Tucker Carlson's show, I said that Senator Clinton, Senator Obama, and Senator McCain have never had to answer that proverbial 3 a.m. crisis...

We are being advised that the recent Ohio and Texas Clinton victory came with that red telephone ad, the scary call in the night about the nuclear threat to our babies as they sleep. If so that is sad news for America because John McCain will be our next President....

My fundamental belief about the current election is that change in the White House is so important, that once again we should support the Democratic nominee, no matter how egregiously he or she imitates the people that they are hoping to replace. Hillary Clinton's recent campaign approach has put my...

Over the next few weeks, the Obama campaign must reframe this campaign, before it settles into the story that Clinton's team is telling (she's tough, he's not; she's lunchpail, he's college-campus granola; he's talk, she's work). The campaign needs a new way to talk about the fundamental difference between these...

On September 7, 2004 Dick Cheney summed up the Republican campaign against John Kerry, warning a crowd in Des Moines, "It is absolutely essential that...on November 2 we make the right choice because if we make the wrong choice then the danger is that we'll be hit again and we'll...

Appearing on Sunday morning's Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer, Senator John Kerry was asked to address the question of Barack Obama's foreign policy crisis experience compared to Hillary Clinton's. This, of course, was prompted by
