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?
