Speaking at a GM Plant in Ohio Clinton defined her message about Obama to the American voters,
“There’s a big difference between us, speeches vs. solutions, talk vs. action”
“Speeches don’t put food on the table, speeches don’t fill up your tank, speeches don’t fill your prescriptions”
“That’s the difference between me and my Democratic opponent. My opponent makes speeches, I offer solutions.”
She is now battling Obama over a debate at Marquette in Wisconsin. Check out the ad she is running in Wisconsin.
Here is the thing, I agree with what she is saying but hate the ad. Why the weird music and the creepy voice? It should be her talking to the camera saying she wants to debate important issues and Sen. Obama does not. I hate the style that political ads have taken on recently, CT television was inundated with them during the 06 congressional elections.
Where are the days when candidates tackled the difficult issues in their campaign ads?
Notice he rips off Obama’s change theme.
Tonight on News Hour Obama Chief Strategist David Axelrod and Clinton Communication Director Howard Wolfson debated the issues then debated the debate.
I don’t want to listen to two campaign guys dumb down the issues with talking points. If I was Obama, I would want voters hearing my policies debated by me and not Axelrod.
Think of how many voters in the upcoming states tuned out of the election thinking that their vote in the primary would mean nothing. The Democratic voters of the states who have not voted deserve a chance to hear these two debate the issues.
Plus, I love this stuff and it is great TV. Obama can even hold a post debate rally at the Bradley Center where the Bucks play. It holds 18,717 so its just the right size.

“Why the weird music and creepy voice” classic!
But I thought the Axelrod-Wolfson thing was amazing, both talking over each other and trying to stay on message without attacking too much. I said a few weeks ago that Axelrod’s mustache hurt Obama and am sticking with it. Keep the guy off national TV—at until he shaves.
Hillary needs to do 16 Months* as an ad.
