Here's a press release from Democratic presidential contender Hillary Clinton:
HARTFORD - In a new thirty-second television ad Hillary highlights her commitment to reviving our struggling economy and her fight against the Bush administration who has ignored this country’s struggling middle class.
Hillary warned President Bush last spring to take action on the mortgage crisis that was affecting homeowners here in Connecticut and across the country, but those homeowners remained invisible to this administration.
"Hillary Clinton knows that many families in Connecticut are struggling to keep up in this receding economy," said State Senator Gayle Slossberg. "This ad shows her commitment to standing up for the people of Connecticut and ensuring that they are not left behind. We need a leader that will be ready on day one to take the helm and create positive change for America. That leader is Hillary Clinton."
Hillary knows that the time to address the receding economy is now.
That is why she recently proposed a $ 110 billion economic package to provide tax rebates to middle class families, assist families with skyrocketing energy costs, invest in clean energy technology and support workers who have lost their jobs.
To protect the millions of Americans who live in fear of losing their homes in 2008, Hillary has called for a moratorium of at least 90 days on home foreclosures; a freeze on the fluctuating rates on sub-prime loans for at least 5 years until they can be converted into fixed rate, affordable loans; and regular status reports on the progress in converting unworkable mortgages into loans families can.
Hillary believes that investing in American alternative fuels will establish a green, efficient economy and create as many as five million new jobs, while at the same time reduce America's reliance on foreign oil and address the looming climate crisis. The people of Connecticut cannot afford to pay three dollars a gallon when that money is going straight to the middle east, not in our own economy.
As President, Hillary will ensure that the working families who are being left behind in this economy, here in Connecticut and across the country, will no longer be invisible.

“Warned” TV :30
Announcer: Our economy is in real trouble.
And while George Bush helps his friends, the middle class gets slammed.
Hillary Clinton warned Bush last March to act or homes would be foreclosed.
Bush did nothing, and two million homes may be lost.
We need a proven leader. Hillary's emergency economic plan: freeze foreclosures,
provide immediate tax rebates for the middle class, create millions of new jobs.
We need more than talk- We need solutions.
Hillary Clinton: I'm Hillary Clinton and I approved this message.

God help our party if we nominate the Carpetbagger of New York as our presidential candidate. Here's the problem with the Clintons. First, they love the thrill of the campaign (translated - the hunt) but can't execute squat when it's all over and it comes time to get down to business. Second, this fake portrayal that they are somehow the guardians of the middle and lower classes is simply insulting and completely disingenuous. Nice ad Hillary. When all else fails play the class warfare card. Tell us Hillary who's the crowd that you run with and how's that personal net worth? I'm not blind and I realize that they're all hypocrites - both sides of the aisle. I just can't stand the Clintonian acting job.
Vote for Obama!
Yoo Hoo Hillary .... Do you plan to move any remaining industrial facilities that remain in the United States to your owners overseas ???
I just don't think Clinton would be the best candidate for the general election. For one I worry that some people might be voting for her thinking their getting Bill Clinton which their not.(All intern jokes aside-just to easy)I also think she's much to polarizing and at a time where the Uconn poll states that many republican voters are not happy with their choices she's not the best candidate to pull those disatisfied republicans over to the democrats because at least from what Ive heard many republicans would rather vote for any of the current republican candidates no matter how unhappy they are over clinton.

Get serious .... Hillary can't control her staff or bill during the campaign .
Secondly .... WHY would you think anyone would WANT bill back in charge after the 8 years of destruction to America he already reaped ?
Im probably should have been a little more clear on that point my bad. I was not refering to what he's doing on the campaign trail. Im well aware that she can't control her staff or bill. However Bill is still pretty popular among democrats and I worry that democratic voters might vote for her thinking they are getting the female version of bill. This still is a pretty weak argument I know. I do think however that both Bill and Hillary are polarizing and thats not the type of candidate the democrats need right now to be successful in November.
It really wouldn't surprise me to find out that hillary is diverting some of her war chest to Ron Paul to keep him a viable 3rd party canidate .
Knowing the her hubby NEVER got into the white house w/o help from a 3rd party canidate , it would be her best shot @ getting there herself .
History has shown a clinton will never get votes from 50% of Americans .
