As opposed to 25% for Obama and Clinton<\/a>. Thanks Hillary Clinton for the McCain campaign ad! He didn’t even have to spend any money and it touches on a major campaign issue for him and evidently makes the voters think of him when they watch it.<\/p>\n

Before Hillary Clinton was declared the winner in Texas, most American voters had read, seen, or heard about her 3:00 a.m. telephone commercial. A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 43% had seen at least part of the commercial which was played incessantly on news networks and other outlets for days. Another 16% had heard something about it and the overwhelming majority (81%) correctly identified Hillary Clinton as the candidate whose campaign ran the commercial (see the commercial).
\nThe commercial was credited as one factor enabling Clinton to turn her campaign around in Texas last week. But, 42% of all voters said the person they\u2019d most want to answer the phone was John McCain. Among all voters, 25% picked Clinton and another 25% named Obama as the person they\u2019d want in the White House when a foreign policy crisis call arrived. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m not surprised since McCain was the name that popped into my head when I watched the ad. He’s the only one who has had any kind of experience in foreign policy and he was savvy enough to know that we needed more troops to really fight the war in Iraq. As Clinton says<\/a>, Obama’s experience is a speech he gave in 2002 \ud83d\ude42 That should make a good commercial if McCain was smart enough to run it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
