Obama's Latest Negative Ad

Posted:

Barack ObamaThe campaign of Barack Obama is airing a "negative" :60 second radio spot in Mississippi. It attacks Hillary Clinton for past remarks about the lack of women in leadership in states like Iowa and Mississippi. It also, somewhat strangely, reaffirms his "Christian faith."

All in all, it's the ad of a typical career politician.

The reported ad's script is:

"You know, now that Hillary Clinton is campaigning here in Mississippi, she likes to say how important we are," Mabus says in the ad. "But just a few months ago when she was campaigning in Iowa, she told them she was shocked Iowa could be ranked with Mississippi on anything. And her campaign even called voters in states like Mississippi 'second class'.

"Obama will unite not divide", Governor Mabus continues. "He'll take on special interest and not take their money. And he'll practice his Christian faith by respecting us."


Mississippi has its primary on Tuesday, March 11; the Magnolia state has 33 delegates.

An American Research Group survey, released today, puts the contest in Mississippi at Obama 58%, Clinton 34%.
