This one:

She's an Obama supporter:

Out of the Mouths of "Safe and Asleep" Babes!
"It's 3 a.m. ... who do you want answering the phone?"
Barack Obama, thank you!
Thus, at least, saith Casey Knowles, the young girl who features in the opening segment of Hillary Clinton's now-infamous "red phone" ad. The footage used in the ad is eight years old; Casey, a former child actor, is now 17 and an active Obama supporter. (She served as a precinct captain for Obama in the Washington State caucuses.)
Whoops! The Clinton campaign made much political hay this week over the gaffes of various Obama campaign advisers. Now they have a gafflet (?) of their own.
And how does Casey (who will be old enough to vote in November) feel about finding herself used in a Clinton campaign ad? "I think it would be really wonderful if me and Barack Obama could get together and make a nice counter ad," she suggests.
Mmm-hmm. |

MD:
This will never happen but it would be WILD if it did:
Imagine some rogue and riled Obama campaign official putting out a TV ad with a red phone ringing in the Oval Office.
The lights are out, save for a nightlight near the door to the corridor
Cutaway to Hillary snoring in bed.
Return to the Oval Office. We see a hand with long fingers pick up the phone and whisper in a Southern drawl, "She's asleep now, so what can I do you for?" (slight moan)
This is followed by a view underneath the desk with someone kneeling in a skirt, moonlight streaming into the bay window from the South Lawn.
Yeah, works for me. |

Steve,
Either that or the red phone ringing and someone who looks like Hillary picks it up and says, "Bill it's for you". Certainly if Obama's camp hasn't thought of it, I would bet you the Republicans have. |

Wouldn't that be a guaranteed victory? |

P,
I'm sure the RNC has a dozen or so commercials written already for each of the D candidates. Of course at this point, Hillary is helping them with the material for Obama. Isn't that nice of her? |
