Clinton Launches a Hail Mary



Hillary's definately going long on this play. It shows she knows she is behind, deep in opposition territory, and no time on the clock. Obviously the intended receivers are soccer moms whom she is hoping never heard of John McCain. One would think the ad has zero credibility with anyone else but I cease to be amazed.

Meanwhile, you don't have to be answering phones at 3 a.m. if your'e not keeping everyone on a short leash and you trust your military:

In 1981, his counselor Edwin Meese called a 3 a.m. staff meeting after learning that U.S. fighter jets had shot down a pair of Libyan planes earlier that night. They decided against calling Reagan in his Los Angeles hotel room.

Addendum: Of course giving your staff a free hand assumes you're working with competent and responsible people in the first place. I figure when Hillary gets a call at 3 a.m. one of her first thoughts is "Where is Bill and what's he up to?"
