DEL.ICIO.USThe ‘Hillary 1984’ ad everyone’s talking about today
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The 74-second Internet spot, entitled “1984” is posted here on youtube.com. It deftly mixes an old Apple computer ad with Hillary Clinton’s “let’s have a conversation” statement that opened her campaign.
The beneficiary of the pitch is Barack Obama. His campaign is denying any culpability.
“It’s about the end of the broadcast era,” said Peter Leyden, director of the New Politics Institute, a San Francisco-based think tank on politics and new media. The background is in this piece by the San Francisco Chronicle.

Anyone can create anything and then blame it on whoever.

It’s also about the end of the newspaper era. How old is this story? Y’all just talking about it now? Jeez, that story’s got whiskers.

If Hill wins the primary she is President. But to win the primaries will be hard. Obama can play as dirty as the Clintons! The Dem primary season will be very interesting. Forget the other guys. Getting Hollywood behind him has lelped Obama as this spot shows very clearly.
