This week the attack ads are out in full view. With four days to go until the Texas Primaries, the democratic candidates are taking swipes at their apponents with new ads designed to make Americans uneasy. First Hillary released an ad showing a house at night with sleeping children and asked "who do you want answering the phone in the middle of the night?" Her add:
Obama retaliated by saying this ad is much like others that have come before it in trying to put fear into the american people.
However, several hours later, Obama ran an extremely similar ad.
Obama's pitch during a rally today claimed that Hillary's ad is legitimate, but the focus shouldn't be on who picks up the phone, but rather what that person will do to address the situation. A valid point.
It seems Hillary is now ready to gamble with ads such as this one to try and attact voters in the last push before the next primaries. If she was ahead of Obama by a landslide, she probably would not be resorting to these types of tactics.
If she looses, I blame her management. They underestimated Obama from the start and she should have tried to attract more voting groups such as youths and women. Many people in the beginning felt she was a shoe-in and I think Camp Hillary did not aggressively go after voters in the beginning.
Her campaign started out slow while Obama's started out running and hasn't looked back.
