New Hillary Ads in Mississippi

From a Hillary Clinton press release.

The Clinton campaign today announced it is launching its first two radio advertisements to air statewide in Mississippi.

The 60-second spots entitled "Invisible" and "Neighbor" highlight Hillary’s record of accomplishment on issues important to Mississippi families.

Listen to "Invisible" here.
Listen to "Neighbor" here.

Following are the scripts for the ads.

"Invisible Mississippi"

Radio :60

Announcer: Hillary Clinton has spent her life standing up for those others don’t see.

Hillary Clinton: "Too many Americans today feel as though they are invisible. If you are a child in a crumbling school...you are invisible to this President."

Announcer: She’s working to end the unfunded mandate on our schools known as No Child Left Behind... help every child live up to their god given potential

Hillary Clinton: If you’re a mother without health care, a father without a job, you’re invisible as well.

Announcer: Hillary expanded health clinics in rural Arkansas, won health coverage for 6 million children, [83,000 in Mississippi alone...]

Hillary Clinton: If your stuck on a rooftop during a hurricane, you’re invisible to this President even when you’re on CNN.

Announcer: And she’s voted consistently to fund the reconstruction of the Gulf Coast.

Hillary Clinton: Well, you are not invisible to me and you should never be invisible to the President of the United States.

Announcer: Paid for by Hillary Clinton for President.

Hillary Clinton: I’m Hillary Clinton, candidate for president, and I approved this message. ____________________

"Neighbor Mississippi"Radio :60

Announcer: They said she couldn't do it. They counted her out. But Hillary Clinton fought back. And she won big. Maybe that's why Barack Obama is running false attack ads against her now.
But Hillary thinks Mississippians deserve the truth about what she's done and what she'll do.
When Katrina and Rita struck, Hillary was one of the first people in the country to call for FEMA to be a separate agency, run by a professional, not by the [former] head of a horse association.
And she's stayed with it... fighting to stop giving bonuses to contractors who aren't doing their jobs.

Hillary spent 18 years as our neighbor in Arkansas. She worked to improve the schools and expand rural health clinics. In the White House and the Senate, she won health coverage for six million children, 83,000 right here in Mississippi

...and expanded access to health care for 12,000 members of the Mississippi National Guard.
You know Hillary will fight for Mississippi...because she already has.

Paid for by Hillary Clinton for President.

Hillary Clinton: I'm Hillary Clinton, candidate for President, and I approved this message.

New Obama Radio Ad Hits Airwaves in Mississippi

A new radio ad from the Obama campaign hit the airwaves in Mississippi. The ad starts with Obama speaking on his Christian faith, in an obvious attempt to thwart the effects of the venomous email about Obama being a secret Muslim, that has been making the rounds. Unfortunately, those emails can be effective in a state where the electorate suffer from poverty and ignorance. Email is the last unregulated means of mass spreading of lies left. No one wants regulation on email, but we must have common sense when reading these things or better yet just delete them. If it were really true it would be in the news, on the blogs, on CNN, or something.

The payload of the ad is delivered by our own former Governor and Obama endorser Ray Mabus. Mabus recalls the disappointing comments by Hillary in Iowa in relation to Mississippi and the fact that we have never had a female governor. In Iowa Hillary said,

"I was shocked when I learned Iowa and Mississippi have never elected a
woman governor, senator or member of Congress," Clinton told the Des Moines
Register in October. "There has got to be something at work here. How can Iowa
be ranked with Mississippi? That's not the quality. That's not the
communitarianism, that's not the openness I see in Iowa."

I remember when she said this, and thinking that it could come back to haunt her. Little did she know that her attempt to kiss ass in Iowa by throwing Mississippi under the bus would matter. Iowa was the first state to hold a caucus or primary as you well know. We are like the 40th or so state to hold their primary or caucus. She disparaged Mississippi because she had no idea the nomination would still be in question when Mississippians cast our ballots. At that point in the election cycle, you can't say she was going to lose Mississippi anyway, since she was still polling very high with the AA community. It was not until his Iowa victory and strong showings in NH and Vermont, that he was able to wrest the AA vote from the Clinton's.
