What's the big deal?

This is not news CNN.

Of course she supports Obama, He is the only person that can change and unite our country and our party.

And the girl who did "Obama Girl" voted for Hillary. Go figure!

Like the majority she would rather have anyone OTHER than Hillary answer the phone. I'm so tired of this women I could scream. She lies & moans & complains, there is no substance to her.

I guess ol' Hillary didn't figure on that coming up in the news. Better screen your ads better next time. Hey, Hillary it's a red phone next time you put together one of those 3 A.M. commercials. Just who were you talking to on that phone in that 3 A.M. commercial, the IRS? Casey Knowles knows the real deal, That's why she backs OBAMA!

why is she so shocked? she was a child actress with material in a stock file. Now she's using this to her advantage to get more work. Typical teenage behavior.

Who cares what this girl think? that's not the point of the AD anyway.

Sure take Hillarys money for the ad and go and get some of Obamas money now next thing you know she will be in an ad for McCain.Her parents taught her well

Who cares about what she thinks. I don't. She has so much more to learn about life.
I have good idea: Why not ask babies (preferably 1-2 years old) about who they support? That's really mature.

So?

As usual, the media will stop at nothing to slam Clinton.

Meanwhile, they continue to lay down rose petals for Saint Obama to walk on.

It's nice to see her speak up!

There is discussion among Obama supporters (not his campaign) that if the nomination is taken away from him with this "big state/little state" argument, we will all be voting for Ralph Nader, not John McCain. That way there will be a measurement of the mutiny from the democaratic party.

No matter how you look at it Clinton has more experience than Obama … and not as First Lady. She has more Senate experience and more experience serving on the Armed Services Committee.

He got to the Senate, dropped his bags and ran for Presidaent.

Priceless free ad space.

We know you like using people, Hillary, but maybe you should start being more careful with who you use.

Hahahahah!

Before all you Clinton bashers go to town, just remember that the girl is an actress who was paid to do a job and is still too young to vote.

She's had her 15 minutes… I heard her on the talk show circuit this morning saying the ad was a low blow, etc. I think it's entirely reasonable to ask who you want answering that call at 3.00 am. She also said that by having the footage of her used in her ad that she felt "disloyal" to Obama. Comments like that worry me. Our only loyalty should be to this great country and not a silver tongued orator.

Remember, she was ASLEEP during the ad–and she still must be asleep if she's supporting Obama.

WHERE IS THE RESULTS FROM THE TEXAS CAUCUS?????
Why is no one reporting on this???

wow, the clintons went to work making their big game changing ad and used footage from 9 years ago? footage from the clinton administration! not even her video footage is new or changing! pathetic.

awww. Another Kid who doesn't know why she is voting for Obama. All she see's is an American Idol. Good Greif!!

Casey,

You have a huge future ahead of you. Thanks for coming out in support of Obama. You are my new hero.

Whoo Whoo…goe Casey!! Your mom should be proud.

Obama 08

All I can do is Laugh…

Kind of funny, maybe the Clinton's should have paid for their own ad image instead of using a borrowed one. (Is that like plagerism?).

I hope Obama's campaign does do an ad with this young lady. It's great to see how many young people do support Obama. Gives me hope that America still does have a bright future.

Obama,please accepts this girl's offer to spite Mrs Clintin.This ad with
her could seal or confirm your nomination.

YES,WE CAN.

. . . . .From the mouth of babes comes truth. This is further proof that the gods must be trying to tell us something and we'd better listen.

YES WE CAN.

She just wants attention and make a some money. No more than an obnoxious teen!

She just wants attention and make some money. No more than an obnoxious teen!

PA

Obama reply re 3 a.m. phone call is typical of his growing arrogance.

Ohhh the Irony of it all! haha.

This is priceless! Her and Barack should do a counter-ad ASAP and air it everyday in PA.

Cnn- are you serious..? riviting…really…

Hillary is pathetic it is time to drop out and let Obama run as the democratic nominee.

The Clinton campaign bought stock footage for a commercial… Does that mean they are trying to do things cheaply now? Are they still low on money? This is funny that they didn't bother to check who did the commerical and see if they were paying attention to the race. I doubt that would change anything though.

That's great!

Please, will someone answer this question for me?
If the delegate votes from Florida and Michigan do not count acording to the Democrat national commitee, shouldn't the total number of delegate votes necessary to nominate be the amount originally set minus the non
existing votes of Florida and Michigan?

So does this mean the silly season in politics is over?

A lot of TV reporters and analysts pretend to be really scared by the red phone, but are so comfortable with the Canadian memo and the monster story. Isn't it strange?

Though this probably shouldn't be headline news, the old saying of what goes around comes around remains true. Hillary took her campaign to a negative level and this is the result. Even the sleeping children would rather Obama answer the phone. Irony at it's best.

She should feel that Clinton has her safe. i would not be braging about being in her ad. It just shows you that Hillary has her safe not Obama.

Hillary Clinton's new ad:

"It's 3 AM, and your children are asleep. Except one: She's out campaigning for Barack Obama!"

Unreal isn't it?

Now we have the Clinton campaign using ads with Obama supporters? How long ago was this filmed?

Reagan 08′

This girl can't even vote. This ad is old news. Leave it to CNN to make a big deal out of nothing.

AHAHAHA… should have done some research before using certain actors/actresses. Lets go Obama!

well well! i'm not suprise one bit.what's in darkness must come to light.how can people vote clinton,knowing what they stand for."deception"

down with billary! and their fear mongering

We know who the sleeping girl wants to answer the phone. See you at the convention.

I don't understand why this is news? Wow…it must be a slow news day. How ridiculous. Can't you spend time on more substantive issues like is Obama really committed to his course in Iraq?

This constitutes a symbol of how real Hillary's "experience" claim is!!

YOM

The new generation is for Obama

it must be somewhat disconcerting to Hilary that when she randomly engages with an individual, the chance is that they are more likely to be an Obama supporter than a hilary supporter

I love Democracy, you just cant beat it, and when done fairly, the result is as good as sacred.

and we need to know this why?????

News check? There are drugs in your drinking water, but the little girl who was an extra in some stock footage is an Obama supporter!!!

Obviously, this kid wants a job. Good grief, who cares?!

I guess another un-paid Hill staffer… just like all americans will be in Communist Hillarica. Just Kidding.

Hillary should show actual footage of an icident in her 35 years of expeirence when she answered the 3:00 AM phone… oh what, just like Obama, she has't answered that phone. Casey and Obama would make the ultimate counter commercial of what he would do when he were to answer that phone.

So what, she is a paid actor, and she supports Obama, she certainly knows how to draw attention.

Lu, the big deal is that she is an Obama supporter and does not like the fact that her clip from when she was 8 yrs old helped Clinton win Ohio. She has no control over the clip but she doesn't like it - is it that difficult for you to understand somthing this simple?

Even as an Obama supporter.. I agree, whats the big deal?

Get your 15 minutes and move on please, thank you.

Clinton is desperate and using the same fear mongering tactics that Rove/Bush used. Given this ad, I wouldn't doubt Hillary bumping up the terror threat levels if she could. It's reaching to the bottom of the bag in order to win at any cost. Be afraid! Be VERY afraid!

why is this even on the ticker …
gosh cnn got nothing else against hillary now …

Exactly, who cares. She was an extra in an ad. I doubt she was even asked who she supported nor did anyone care.

This is news?

What a ridiculous "story"…obviously a really slow weekend for news!!

Someone looking for her 15 minutes of fame and CNN is only too happy to facilitate.

“I think it would be wonderful if Barack Obama and I could get together and do a counter-ad,” she told CNN Saturday.

Shows just how juvenile this whole thing has become.

You know, this is an enjoyable article because of the irony involved, and I hope Casey does decide to do a counter-ad.

But this isn't really a substantive article about any of the issues or platforms the candidates are taking. I'm tired of hearing voters argue that the candidates don't take stances or have plans, when they do but the media doesn't cover them.

I also think it ludicrous that CNN close down blogs after 3 comments or 7 comments or 2 hours or whatever. What's the point of having a blog if you don't let us comment? Do you want to aggravate us enough to abandon you for more fertile outlets?

Ms. Knowles, please get a life. You are no celebrity.

The girl in the ad also said on another show that she felt that Mrs. Clinton was using fear-mondering to win votes. I agree!! I will not support any politican who uses my kids and my natural protectiveness to win my vote. That is what Bush did to get us into the war. He made us fear what would happen if we did not go to war. Now we have how many lives lost? How much money gone from our economy? How much less money for education and health care? What my children really need is good judgement in our next president!

Obama 2008!!!!!!!

The deal is that Hillary used footage of a supporter for Obama as an attack add on Obama. It is also shows that when the sleeping children wake up, they support Obama. I just hope that when the voters wkae up to Hillry, they will also vote for Obama.

WHO CARES !!!!!

The big deal is not to confuse advertising with reality, especially not the actual Clinton reality which is a mile wide and an inch deep!

Amazing…I think she should do an ad with Barack Obama for PA voters.

Go Obama '08

Good For her.

Hillary 2008

Actors and actresses in commercial say and do whatever the script says. The commercial has nothing to do with what they really think or believe. Commercials have nothing to do with truth.

I think this is great!

Of course she does….it will add to her 15 minutes of fame. Notice how fast she mentioned the " counter ad".

Why would this surprise anyone - she is a baby? Obama always does well with the young and easy influenced, when you bother to lift the rug and check underneath he falls apart.
Hillary has had her rug checked so many times there are no surprises left -0bama - journalist refuse to even scratch the surface. Journalists if you can call them that would rather do nonsense fluff pieces like this!

It would be great to do a counter-ad.

Again, it shows Mrs. Clinton or her staffs through management skills. Do your homework first, then make a sound 'Judgement' call before acting upon on.

"Day One"?

Hillary for SNL standup not for president.

Reality check #1: That's a flat out lie! The truth is that she didn't vote at all.

It is shows once again what Obama campaign stands for: targeting youth and all about "Change" and they don't have any clue what kind of "Change" they want after all… Teen psychology!

she is an actress and is looking for a job. what better way to get in the papers and on tv.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH YOURE MY HERO

Ha ha!! She supports Obama, but is absolutely clueless that she's appearing in an ad for Hillary? Says a lot for Obama supporters, doesn't it?

It's another example of how Barrack Obama has engaged the younger voters (i.e. many future participants in the democratic party) through his campaign. I don't think the 65+ voters are the future of America. (and I truly mean no disrespect…my parents are in that category…it's just exciting to see how many new voters he has involved in the voting process!)

Don't listen to Greg from Pennsylvania… he's actually Sean Hannity. Nice hatred buddy.

Another woman against Hillary!

Ha!!!! The joke is on Hillary. Nice article, Obama should find some way to spin this. Did this ad affect Ohio and TX voters on Tuesday? In my opinion Obama is qualified to run this country. Obama 08

greg why waste your vote on someone that thinks Obama isn't fit to answer the phone at 3:00 as President , but good enough to help her answer the phone as Vice President.

@ Fair: She can die for her country — she should also have a say on the next president. I've met 18 year olds with more wisdom than some 50 year olds.

Is this news? Not really — but this is a BLOG.

celia

if obama wants to play that game, i'm a hillary voter, all my friends are hillary voters and if she doesn't get it we will vote for nader. we are not the only people that will do that. so there

Funny thing is, Clinton doesn't seem to be aware that it's never 3 AM across America (or the world) at any given time lol.

If the superdelegates decide to support Senator Clinton over Senator Obama (ahead in Delegates, States, and total Votes) than I believe this would destory the Democratic Party beyond repair.

Maybe a Obama/Bloomberg ticket as Independents would be the answer for many voters. Bloomberg would deliver New York and New Jersey. Just a thought.

To the person above that said "Obama girl" voted for Hillary. She didn't vote for Hillary, she just didn't vote. She was too busy at a party of some sort, which in it's own right is no excuse.

BIG DEAL!!

what does an almost 18 year old girl know about politics and the problems of the world. They think this is all fun. These young supporters think it is cool to vote for a young charismatic guy like Obama

I do not understand why CNN try to beat Hillary in different ways!

What's CNN' purpose?

There's nothing wrong with Muslims for one thing Greg. And another thing, Obama is Catholic. Nice try though with the demonizing; that's usually a tactic for those who have no real argument.

You have to be 17 1/2 to register to vote, so she is eligible. She was even a precinct captain for Obama. People slamming the youth had better get with the program. WE are inheriting this country and WE will decide who we want leading us.

shame on you Hillary clinton

Yes we can 08

CNN I have lost so much respect for your station. I now find myself watching FOX they at least tell the facts about both candidates.

Silly girl… Obama's for kids.

CNN should have asked her WHY she supports Obama. I bet you a red phone she can't answer the question.

"…Uhhh, because my sorority endorsed him…"

Who cares who she supports!!! She is not even old enough to vote yet!!! She is just an out of work child actress looking for another 15 mins of fame…THIS IS NOT NEWS JUST WASTED AIR TIME!!!

Oh Yes, let us have a 17 year old actress make our political decisions. Excuse me I have to find the nearest bathroom, I think I going to be sick…

I would like to know how a young girl not yet of voting age, can be a Precinct Captain and Delegate without voting.You have a picture of this girl and she is on CNN Tv, Perhaps this is happing in other caucases?

Interested in politics

Sure, this isn't breaking news. But it's really funny and definitely worth the attention it's getting based on how absurd the ad was in the first place.

What a "monster" - ous, mistake by Hillary!

All this girl wants is more business and more media attention. Get her off of this website - its supposed to be NEWS!! Who cares what she thinks. She made money off of the Clinton campaign making this ad - you don't see her complaining about now do you?

Who the hell cares about this????

Hillary Clinton always seems to be nine years out of date. This is just one more example.

Greg, Pennsylvania,

I guess it's fair to say that you are basking in your ignorance. You are afraid of muslims, Obama, change and apparently 17 year old blonds.

You go girl! The voice of youth will not be silenced anymore…this girl is smart!

Greg, Pennsylvania, choose honesty over ignorance. Before you say that Obama is muslim raised, do your homework.

I agree with you, Jacqueline.

Where the heck are the results from Texas?!? Why isn't it in the news? Why isn't the lack of a result in the news? Where the heck is the actual news?!?

Even if it's just a 3 sentence blurb, someone should post a notice about Texas's caucus results. Why are they taking so long? Who the heck won Texas overall??????

C'mon CNN, you can do better!!!

Clinton can't run a campaign how can she run a country?

You go girl!!! The Clinton supporters are the only ones still asleep now!!!

Counter ad:
It's 3PM and you need to vote on the Iraq war.
Imagine what she might do if she's half asleep!

That's what is called as "poetic justice".

You Go "Girl".

LOL.

We want the Texas Caucus results!!!! Why is this not in the news???

Where is the results from the Texas Caucus and what are they trying to do cheat?

GO Obama! 2008

The last comment from Greg in Pennsylvania just deplays his ignorance of the facts; his racism and bigtory and intorlerance

I HATE Obama bashers. The only 'muslim raised idiot', 'sleeper' etc are all you ignorants supporting such a decisive. polarizing figure as HRC.

Obama '08!!!

Celia???

Why do you continue with idle threats… it is obvious to me that you are not a democrat… if you were you would vote for whoever the democratic nominee is… neither Obama nor Clinton will win this race… if you look at each candidate neither one is very different from the other… the super delegates are going to back the person that they think will win in November… in a race this close it is going to come down to the electoral college… Clinton has a huge advantage in that count…

In sports terms you are a "fair weather fan"!!!

Blind leading the blind

CNN! Please do not delete my comments!

I do not understand some media like CNN would like to use all the ways they can think about to beat Hillary!

What's CNN's purpose? You guys think you can super power to push our people to elect Obama?

NO WAY

Hillary 2008

Watching the ad, the presumption is that Hillary might know the people in it, or perhaps in some capacity, be involved in choosing them. How cold a glimpse into the workings of Hillary's campaign, that Casey Knowles was just a nameless "off the shelf" piece of stock footage, a soul-less business purchase, to slime an opponent by preying on people's fears. In regard to drumming up support via fear, apparently Hillary and George Bush have something in common.

Greg-Pennsylvania, Obama was never a Muslim, was not even Muslim raised… and even if he was, so what? He has attended the same Christian Church for 20 years. Anyhow, this is America, a nation founded on "reedom of Religion". Please keep that in mind.

What this girl thinls is irrelivent…but, why is Hillary Clinton in a busisness suit and made up at 3:00 A..M.???was she chasing one of bills girlfriends out of the house?

My, my - we're a little testy today, aren't we!

1. Name calling isn't very nice!
2. That girl is VERY smart.
3. Racism and bigotry is SO 18th century. Come back to 2008.

OBAMA 08 AND BEYOND BABY!!!!!!!!!!!

Watching the ad, the presumption is that Hillary might know the people in it, or perhaps in some capacity, be involved in choosing them. How cold a glimpse into the workings of Hillary's campaign, that Casey Knowles was just a nameless "off the shelf" piece of stock footage, a soul-less business purchase, to slime an opponent by preying on people's fears.

What this girl thinls is irrelivent…but, why is Hillary Clinton in a business suit and made up at 3:00 A..M.???was she chasing one of Bills girlfriends out of the house?

This is the worst article I have seen by CNN since they BOLDY announced that HULK HOGAN had 'endorsed' Obama.

This young lady's voice is important as is all of ours. Don't discount her for her age, by the way, she will be eligible to vote for the GE. She is showing much more maturity then some of the posters today, who by the way do not have facts, just their prejudice and ignorance.

What a shock? A teenager supports Obama. A teenager who has no sense of reality or what it takes to get work done in DC. This only helps Clinton, the ad was really effective and this news guarantees that the ad will be played over and over again on news channels for the next week. Way to help your candidate!

"Our ditches will be flowing with gravy! There will be biscuits on every conrner! And we will sop our way to prosperity!"
- Barack Obama
Give him a pleated skirt and some pom-poms……so far his rhetoric and resume qualifies him to be the country's head cheerleader.

Ben

To answer your question.

The Florida and Michigan delegates -and all their juicy Super delegates that Clinton doesnt get either - have already been subtracted to make the count 4049.

winner needs 2025.

If they count either michigan or florida or both, the winning total will need to go up.

As an Obama supporter…I have to say, this really is a non-story.

However; I would like to pose a question for the Clinton supporters….since the TX and OH primaries, Billary has been making a lot of innuendos about both candidates being on the Democratic ticket…Hillary as President and Barack as Vice President….but isn't the GREATEST RESPONSIBILITY of the VP the ability to step in and be President in a moments notice. So, doesn't it seem as though she is contradicting herself when she says he isn't READY to be President????

Obama '08…even she knows, he is READY!!!

what happened to the texas causus i briefly heard that someone that supported clinton took the ballots marked with obama

Anyone with ANY sense is voting for Obama.Is it just me or does anyone out there get disgusted when Hillary thinks she has made a point on her poorly attended campaigns and then she starts shaking her head and opening her eyes wide.She'd not just make a bad president but also a lousy actor.

OBAMA 08

This commerical is bing overdone, Since Thursday it has been on every news media and it never stopsl How much did you pay the reporter Enough is enough for Gods sake. When we see we all say oh know not again. Surely ther is somethiing eles. Very tired of repeat repeat get over and move/

[Please, will someone answer this question for me?
If the delegate votes from Florida and Michigan do not count acording to the Democrat national commitee, shouldn't the total number of delegate votes necessary to nominate be the amount originally set minus the non
existing votes of Florida and Michigan?]

What are you thinking. America Obama Version is minus Florida and Michigan?

Of course she supports Obama. Most of us do!!

OBAMA 08

OBAMA ROCKS!

Go Hillary! Obama, sit down son and learn a thing or two before you decide that having that "thing" between your legs qualifies you for leadership.

Celia

I was so upset with Senator Clinton tactics that at first I was thinking of not voting if the nomination is taken away from Senator Obama and given to Clinton. So many people loss their lives to give me the right to vote and I have never miss an opportunity to exercise that right. After calming down I said I would do just what you said. I will vote for Ralph Nader the same way I voted as an uncommitted voter in Michigan.

Oh boy, some of the comments from Clinton supports are so mean spirited, just like their candidate!

The results from Texas? It was a very close contest! And the fear-ad did not help Hillary who is acting more like a Republican-fear-monger than a forward thinking Democrat.

I saw the young woman in the ad, this morning on the Today Show, she is bright and articulate.

Its no wonder that Sen. Obama is ahead in MOST states won and most delegates. He is the candidate of CHANGE!

get a job, it was a picture of a child/ it did not give your name and who cares what you think. You got paid didn't you, or did your contract run out and you're ticked that you didn't get paid. People who jump on the tv shows just show what idiots they are and money grubbers. I guess anything for a minute of fame. Hope her high school friends are smarter than her.

Someone commented that the "Obama Girl" of the video voted for Hillary–that's not true. She forgot to vote at all–but DOES support Obama!

Hillary Clinton's new ad:

"It's 3 AM, and your children are asleep. And Hillary is stroking John McCain…………'s ego.

This piece of fluff is just to show that the 'little girl' is a real person and not just a propaganda tool.
If this is her big break into showbiz after the stock footage sat for 10 years then more power to her, milk it.
Otherwise this tidbit is only worth 15 minutes of fame and time to move on to the next big political talking point.

This is CNN negative Journalism. What importance is there about this girl's choice from any other democrat or american?

Greg, Pennsylvania March 10th, 2008 8:23 am ET

Stupid girl! Why waste your first vote on a muslim raised idiot!

This what you call a racist bastard. He is christian you ignorant fool.

Greg, Pennsylvania March 10th, 2008 8:23 am ET ,
You are the stupid and the ignorant one! What will take for your little ignorant, racist, fear and hate spreading mind to understand that Obama is not and was never a Muslim. If you hate Muslim so much stop using their oil. Maybe you will learn a lesson.

No wonder Hillary win the states that have big concentration of mindless hate-lies-ignorant people like you.

Reality Check #1:

Obama Girl was too drunk to remember to vote. She didn't vote for Clinton (not that it really changes how pathetic she is, but it's a matter of clarification)

29 states to 13…… instead of blogging you billary supporter should be praying

Grey, Pennsylvania…your're the most idiotic person the world has ever seen!!!! grow up, fool…..

she's only 17, she can't even vote

Smart Girl!

WHERE IS THE RESULTS FROM THE TEXAS CAUCUS?????
Why is no one reporting on this???

Just remember, many to young to vote will see all this Clinton stuff, and then in 4 years there will be a lot more Obama people out there…

Go obama

I imagine Casey waking up at 3:00am in the commercial telling her mother and father, I don't want Hilary Clinton picking up the phone I don't feel safe with her, I want Barack Obama to pick it up. I wondered how dissapointed was Senator Clinton when she saw her little girl on Television almost saying, AM CASEY KNOWLES and I DISSAPROVE THIS MESSAGE. Thats how prepared she is to become commander in chief, she don't even know whats going on in her own backyard.

This story isn't news. I'm ashamed CNN is reporting something as asinine as this under the guise of politics.

This is so pathetic! Who cares who she supports? She is a paid actress!! She needs to go back to eating her cheerios and drinking her Kool-Aid and daydreaming of Barack…

You can't play football by following the rules of a soccer game! Plain and simple no matter how good of a soccer player you might be, it won't do you any good in football. Obama does not have to change his message or his beliefs to play her game… the game of Politics. People like this girl are following suit. It is impossible to win this nomination sitting idly by in the shadows. Barack and those who support him have to take a stand and show the world they mean business.

If Hillary gets the nomination, I vote for McCain. It's that simple.

Barack Obama should just quit. If he has not been able to deliver a knock out punch to Hillary by now how the heck could he possibly beat McCain?

As for this "will of the people" arguement…isn't Hillary ahead in popular vote (if you count Florida and Michigan) now and what if she is when all the primaries and caucuses are done? Then what will you say?

How shocking it is to see the Clinton People disrespecting this young girl. Hillary got you dolts all worried about the safety of the children, and you hate on this child because Hillary Rotten Clinton is not her choice. Nice, this is what I expect from you. Have fun hating on kids…………….Shame on you.

CNN, I have been watching your news shows and anchors, and I have to commend you on being the only News Network that reports on the race for the white house without trying to sway voters and interject your (Personal) thoughts on these 3 candidates.

Thank you.

Voter in America

Obama and his children…what a joke!!!

WATCH FOX NEWS OR MSNBC!

SO MUCH MORE PROFESSIONAL THAN OBAMA LOVING CNN!!!!!!!!!!

Why can’t people be fair and truthful? Greg from Pennsylvania I think you cross the line with your comment. Let us all be objective, wise and make a constructive criticism that will help us all. She's free to do what she think is right for her, who are we to question her decision or even write Derogatory statements . Food for thought. Thanks!

It's really messed up how bitter and rude a few of these Hillary supporters are. Really, really messed up. Yet, they are the first to swoon over 28 year old Chelsea. "what a fine you lady" and so forth. And now they take pleasure in brow beating a 17 year old girl? Such behavior is hateful, shameful, and disgusting.

Hillary says she has more experience, but now she needs Obama to join with her on a dream ticket. She said she is more electable, but she needs to cheat the system by seating Florida and Michigan's delegates which should not count, in order to catch up with Obama. She says she's loyal, but used Obama's supporter's image in her ad. What's next Hillary, What's next? I'll tell you what's next. You need to pay this young lady some royalty.

I supose you men out there let your women run you house at home too. Men are superior they always will be. Look at the facts.

I'm not surprised that a 17 year old is supporting Obama, but once this young lady gains some maturity I think she will realize that there is more to becoming president that just being young and sounding good.

Obama has 90% voted from Black people. if he is this good than we all have to vote for him.

so don't you guy think this is a racist from African people.

where all the white people? can you guy do the samething?

Tim

The blind leading the blind is a verry correct statement Fernandez, luckily Hillary wears contacts so she sees the shadows well enough to keep from leading all her supporters totally into the ditch (but not so well as to keep them from walking through the muck on the side of the road.

She is such a smart young girl. Very impressive.

CNN should ask her WHY she is vothing for Obama. Ask her WHAT he has done so far? Also ask her what she plans to be whenshe grows up, because I hope not an actress. We can see right thru this trick to get press time. No Emmy or Oscar in your future.

Hillary is nothing but vitriol and entitlement. She thinks that she's 'owed' the job of president. Her rictus grin has gotten so incredibly annoying of late, because it's so blatantly false. I'm getting to the point where I'm beginning to hate seeing her face on TV almost as much as I hate seeing Bush's weasel face. They both make me sick.

Awesome!!! This just goes to show you that Hillary's mindless commercials and negative, fearmongering strategies never had any foundation and can easily be trumped by anyone who uses their rational side to think through the issues and decide who would be the greater champion for change America.

Hillary, your negativity could only give you a temporary bump and you campaign is going straight into the tank again… give it up already. Get out of our lives!

OBAMA '08!!!

How ironic. Obama has the best chance of winning in November.
I respect Hillary but she's way too divisive AND as we all can see, it's washington as usual with her.

We need change.

Obama '08

And this is news because????????????????.
Please CNN, get a grip. No story here for either candidate.

Oh please! Hilary supporters please stop crying, of course this is news. If Obama did it you guys would make it a big deal!

And yes where are the results from the Texas Caucus???

Reality Check #1: Obama Girl didn't vote at all- as you said go figure.

This story doesn't matter at all, but it is funny! Lucky little break for Obama campaign to use in order marginalize that obnoxious little ad that of course worked - Hillary is really taking whole pages from Karl Rove's and the Republican's negative campaign playbook.

I used to say I'd support her if she won the primary, but now I don't know. I'm so, so sick of asinine political trickery.

this news is lame.

who cares what she thinks?

Reality Check #1:

"Obama Girl" didn't vote at all!!!!!

Who cares ?

How odd that most replying to this ad are dismissing what this young woman thinks. I realize her age works against her, but how many responding to this blog have taken the time to become personally involved as a caucus organizer, been astute enough to become a delegate and is as involved as she is? I think her opinion matters, not so much because she was in stock footage that has been used by the Clinton campaign, but for the fact that she's an informed citizen.

Also, I think the irony of Hillary using random footage and still unearthing someone who doesn't support her is not lost on the public.

This is NOT news. This girl just like the rest of the youth is supporting Obama because they think this is American Idol. I am sure they wish they could text in their votes. I read an interview from her mother that said when Obama shook her hand she trembled and cried… Again, sounds like some pre-pubescent girl not even old enough to understand politics, she wants to be in the spotlight, and now she is. She also admitted that if Hillary is the nominee, Hillary will get her vote. Sounds to me again, like mom and daughter playing the media to get extra work for their not so talented daughter.

An actress wanting another 15 minutes of fame. That's what this is. People act like it means something…LOL

REMEMBER "OBAMA GIRL"??? SHE DIDN'T VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA. Hmmmm…

Vow, is CNN short of news coverage. How did this make headlines. She also appeared on the Today Show this morning. Another example of bias against Hillary. NOBODY CARES ABOUT WAHT SHE THINKS! Majority of the voters should of decided whon to vote for already. As for me and my extended family. GO HILLARY!

Like the child in the commerical, Casey is ignorant of the dangers we face in this world..

It's really a shame how young people are such followers. They don't vote and many of these college students have had the right to vote since they were 18 years old but they don't even vote in state and local elections. They are such hypocrites. This is the iPod and youTube generation. All fluff and no substance who still have to have their parents advocate for them and pay the bills. Get real.

This country is in very serious trouble and Obama, as a community activist (what a joke) and as a state legislator who was given bills to sponsor because the Senate President in Illinois favored him (most of those bills died) and now he is running for President with no congressional experience (his arrogance that after a year or so on the job) he feels he's smarter and more qualified to run this country. His record in Congress is that he cannot work across the aisle and he doesn't show up to hold hearings on Afghanistan because as he said he's too busy running for President, speaks volumes about him.

The voices of reason and experience will make sure that this country will be on the right path, come the November elections.

Oh please! Like I want a 17 year old to decide who's going to be the next President. Get real! Do you know many 17 year olds that have to pay rent or a mortgage? That need to pay for health insurance and food? That worry about college tuition costs? I think not. We are voting for a PRESIDENT, not a 'American Idol' contestant! I want a President who cares for ALL CITIZENS, not just the "wealthy and well educated".

Is selling your image to an add agency, then publically speaking out against the people that purchase it as a commodity unethical or what? Wow. Sounds like a law suit to me.

Interesting how people can be so vicious against a someone that has spent her entire life helping people that needed help. Some have been swept away with great words, gestures and body language while ignoring substance. Im afraid the word "pathetic" and the phrase "here we go again" comes to mind. We are going down the path of the last election and God help us.

Boy some of you Clinton supporters are so condescending… jeesh. I guess I shouldn't be surprised. This girl's footage is stock footage that she has no control over how it's use and is royalty free(she doesn't get paid). You are discounting the opinion of this young girl because she is "young and easily influenced". Did you think that maybe she's young and well informed? She will be old enough to vote in the GE and if you're old enough to vote your opinion should matter to the candidate. No wonder all the young are flocking to Obama.

For the record "Obama Girl" didn't vote for Clinton, she didn't vote at all, she's not registered.

So what, the Obama Girl voted for Clinton. You dont see that making headlines do you.

Who is Casey Knowles? I don't know who she is but its great that the she is talking a position on who she wants to be elected.

I think the point of the ad is not what the "children want" but who their PARENTS think can keep them safe.

Children often need the protection go grown ups. I'll go with who they pick, not the 17 year old with the not yet fully developed frontal lobes. Thank-You.

Why is this news? What issue does this talk to? The Economy, foreign policy, anything? Come on now! As Obama has said we are getting into the "silly season" of politics.

"And the girl who did "Obama Girl" voted for Hillary. Go figure!"

Wow, HRC supporters are factually challenged.

Correction: The so-called Obama Girl — actually a paid model as part of some marketing stunt, and by the way totally unaffiliated with the campaign — didn't vote at all. She had a cold on election day.

hope, change, future, turn to next page, —blah blah blan for two month already.

Everytime I see Obama on TV, I am sick and I can't stop laughting.

There are no hope, no change, no future, even no next page,

What is wrong with American's head?

Are you sure you are such a hopeless?

So, 18 year olds can fight in Iraq for you, and pay Social Security taxes for you, but if they express their political opinions, you don't think they know anything about politics or the world. What sort of twisted thinking is that?

To P Graber:

If you really think she was sleep, then obviously you've never heard of model acting.

Hillary Clinton just knows NO shame !

Anyone but Clinton !

I briefly heard that Obama supporters locked Clinton supporters out of the caucuses and that they also ignored Clinton supporters and marked Obama when people clearle stated Clinton. I'm sure there
are rumors of wrong doing from both sides.

Sorry, Obama fans, but a lot of us who couldn't vote in the senate were ALSO against the war. Can Obama offer anything else? His friends in the senate never mention his bipartisan efforts, only his energy. Well that's great. Now again, riding on his Oprah based celebrity status and not the details of either his plans or records, will he get elected. Our country is a fast food nation in more ways than one.

Richard I agree with you. I have had enough of her as well. I don't think alot of people have really read the story. The Ad was purchase by the Clinton's and used for the 3 am phone.

Everyone is saying that know one should care about what this girl thinks, some of you forget that she is the furture.

And if you don't care about what the young people think then you have that mentality that their voice should be silent.

This is not NEWS in any way shape or form! It was actually listed in the CNN top stories this morning!!! What lengths will CNN go to place a positve Obama story?

She "unknowingly" paticipated in the ad? I hardly think so. I'm sure her bank account would show differently. And on top of it, who cares who this child supports. The college and 30 and under crowd are more interested in being part of a "movement" than they are in the good of the nation. Few of them have to earn money for a living, few of them have to worry about health care. They just suck off mom and dad and buy into the cult. If these young people represent our best and brightest, God help us!!.

Who really cares???

MOnkey Oil, the funny thing is, you obviously didn't listen to the ad: "It's 3am and your children are asleep." there is something happening in the world, not it's 3am in the world. It's ok, you're probably not alone in intentionally or otherwise not listening to what her campaign messages are saying because you're deaf from dislike and blinded by your savior's aura.

Voters use your head and heart to vote. Not your remote.
It's the news anchors and pundits job, to report on the campaign, but it's your job to put the right man (or woman) in the white house.
Go to rally's, look up candidates info on their web pages.

I'm an Obama fan, but whom ever gets the job behind the infamous desk, at least their supporters will have had a once in a lifetime chance to participate in an history making election.

Voter in America

To all the Clinton cocktail drinkers:

So does this mean that all of the young voters that voted for Hillary don't count either?

Idiots!

Did anyone ever worked under a nagging boss before? well that is what she promises to be and Idon't think obama stand her even if she became his running mate.
A perfect running mate for the prof will be John Kerry. He is rugged in all areas and can match Mcain boot for boot.

The phone will definately ring at 3a.m. and some one will definately anwer it. But Obama will definately make the right judgement

Reality Check #1,

Guess again, Obama girl didn't vote for anyone. She was unable to get to a polling station before it closed.

Just goes to show how another Clinton supporter does NOT know what's going on. Oh, and yes, it was covered all over the place. Do a search so you can prove yourself wrong.

I don't know why this is making CNN news? Is there nothing more important to report? The Clinton campaign used stock footage and most Americans understand the person in the ad was a child and in no position to endores either candidate. I don't think a counter-ad is necessary and someone can let her know that her 15 minutes was up days ago.

I don't really care. I just think she is trying to get attention so she gets more work…

Everybody has an opinion. I have a number of friends that campaigned for Obama and now support Hillary after discovering things about Obama.

Poor little thing does not even know why she is voting.

I think it is obvious this girl is using the fame of the commercial to further an acting career. It is clear in reading what she is asking Obama to do. This is an old story.

The whole world is watching and reading your comments, be polite enough. There is a ray of hope in Obama change messege……

This Girl must like the dark side, and no clue what she said!

Hillary 08

I dont think it matters too much, but it is so ironic and a nice slap in the face for the clinton campaign for running negative ads. There is poetic justice in the world!

Snore… That is why they call it stock footage. Anyone who thinks the media is not slanted toward Obama needs to look at this story. It ranks right up there with the time in the early 80s (before most Obama supporters were born) when Don Johnson was in a Pepsi commercial and was later spotted drinking coke. Who cares? I guess the answer to that is CNN and other Obama supporters care.

Hillary 08

Thank God for young people like Casey. She was too young to have made the decision about the first ad, but she is interested in putting together an add to let the world know where she really stands. CNN might want to consider hiring this young lady to work with Jack Cafferty to replace Wolfe. This might help to bring some fairness
