name 3 accomplishments of Obama as a senator……

yeah…you cant. so shut up.

Soooo….Headline: "Actress Tries to Further Career…" She's promoting her career, Obama et al. are promoting their careers. CNN should find stories, not simply present those created by a campaign.

Hillary Supporters at her rallies are hired doubles by Getty Images! The cat is now out of the bag!

this can't hurt her acting career can it. free publicity

"She just wants attention and make a some money." – Lola

I agree completely, but no matter how much the truth comes out about Hillary, some people will vote for her anyway.

Or were you talking about the girl in the ad?

Hey Clinton supporters, don't start whinning AGAIN…

I mean come'on. I can't believe you all have the audacity to blame this girl for supporting Obama!! Talk about a cheap shot. The Clinton campe should have done a better job at screening her ads. Bottom line. Don't hate the player HATE the game.

Get over yourselves. The young lade has every right to support anyone she wants…and as a child she didn't have a voice, NOW she of legal age and she has MADE HER CHOICE. Geeeez.

If funny how you Clinton supports are such sore losers, YOU want your cake and want to be able to eat it too even if it the cake IS NOT YOUR CAKE!!! How typical.

You all need to take a chill pill and stop acting like a toddler for God's sake. Last I recall Sen. Clinton doesn't walk on water and she certainly isn't OWED anything from the American people. We've given her and Bill 8+ years in the limelight.

It's time for them to DO what's best for the Democratic Party, but OH no…that's not the Clinton way they would rather lie, cheat, steal, bribe and sacrifice every body else but themselves. I guess the court case against her (Paul vs. Clinton) isn't HER fault either huh? What?

The "Obama Girl" did not vote for Obama
The "Clinton Girl" does not vote for Clinton

Is there anything at CNN.com that sucks worse than this?

Just goes to show, the youth of today are an ignorant and stupid bunch. Else why would they support obama.

Most Americans want Obama to answer the phone evidenced by his lead in states won, popular vote and pledged delegates.

Dani: this is a struggle for power between two generations. The older generation will lose this fight. They must lose this fight. All that "experience" has saddled a young generation with war and recession. How are we supposed to "pull ourselves up by our bootstraps" and live out the "American Dream" when we have been stripped of our boots altogether and seen the dream fade into the pockets of the wealthy?

This is rich only the Clinton's would try to spin there losing into a disaster. No one I've spoken with would be surprised if this wasn't a back up plan all the while. Sen. Obama's the front runner like it or not and he has stuck to the rules of not only the DNC, but his own campaign. The Clinton's are so despite to get back in the White House not only would Hillary lie, cheat, steel or undercut her opponent. She'd try to rip the Democratic Party apart while endorsing Sen. McCain, because she's losing. This behavior doesn't make her tough, but it does make her a degrading human being. She's obviously in co-hoots with so many that a dream ticket would go against every thing that Sen. Obama represents. The DNC needs to do the same thing that the Republican Party did. Take control and endorse Sen. Obama while they steal have a party to work with.

I DONT CARE SHE IS 17 YR OLD SHE CANT VOTE YET………

Correction…Obama girl didn't vote for Hillary. She didn't vote…was asleep.

a really important story, you've got to be kidding. why do you waste your time on this type of stuff.

Senator Hilary Clinton accused Senator Barrack Obama of plagiarism for using words that had been used by someone else, who happens to be afriend. Is the use of someone's picture without her permsision not plagiarism by Senator Hailary Clinton?

this is stupid i think the girl just wants to be on tv. its a shot of you sleeping for three seconds. get over yourself

I have been contemplating what i would do if Clinton win the Dem Nom. I started asking all of my friends and family that are Dems what they will do and my family is big along with all my friends. we decided to start a poll of all our friends and family here are the numbers of what we decided
out of 1000 people 50 say they would stay with Clinton 200 were already Clinton fans and 750 would not vote for the Dems but vote for Mchain to show how much we distrust the Clintons.

Smart young girl!!!!
Folks, Hillary is not as smart as you and I. It is all an act.
Now do you really want her to be President of the U.S
If she is so great, why does she have to pull out all the
dirt.!!!!!!!.

Obama 2008 for President Only. Not to V.P. under the
Clinton lying regime.

Since we all know who doesn't have anything to worry about supports Clinton.
People who needs health care, strong economy & world peace supports Obama.

He has more legislative experience than Hillary does.

Does anyone listen? So judgemental! She WILL be voting age at election time. You people better wake up and pay attention. She is an intelligent girl and part of the future of this country. Her opinion DOES matter. Quit discounting the brains of the young. They're not all saggy-pants-wearin, superficial morons as most of you elude to.

Go Barack!!

I can't believe people are saying they "don't care what she thinks". She's a voter. So her opinion matters just as much as yours does. the only twist is that a video of her was used to promote a candidate that she doesn't side with. If you can argue that it was a valid statement to use an video of a innocent child sleeping to shake up some votes (and I can't understand why they would use this video in the first place, other than to pressure people into voting their way); if this tactic is "okay" with you, then it should also be "okay" that the people who are actually in the video get to say what they couldn't say in the ad. This one just ends up biting Clinton in the behind. She (Clinton) reminds me so much of Wiley Coyote. She is always plotting and then BOOM.. it backfires on her (esp. true when they debated). It's actually comical.

Why am I not surprised that someone who needs to be in front of the camera would support Obama? Obama is one big media creation

Couldn't Hillary have gotten volunteers from her own campaign rather than using stock footage? Seems a little dull witted and uncreative to me.

WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?

Any would-be President will tell you that they will be President for ALL.
Whether you are Republican, Democrat, Independent or whatever.

Perhaps OBAMA aspires to be President to only those who support him.

What a pity !!!!!

what a smart girl after all…

barack obama is able to enthuse such young voters — that's a big deal for the democratic party.
and it's an even bigger deal for the youth who have finally found interest in voting.

most of hillary's supporters keep on derisively calling obama as saint. i'd say between the two of them, if honesty, fairness and being dignified (the requisites to being a true leader of our country), then so be it. he's so much more a saint that either clintons.

A few people have stated she can't vote that isn't true. She is 17 will be 18 prior to election day, and 17 year olds in Washington can particiate in the cacus as long as they turn 18 prior to election day. She not only supported Obama in the Caucus, but was a precinct captain for her cacus.

wow this is what its come to the level of these so called educated Obama supporters is very low. can we talk about an issue that will benefit this nation pls.
QUESTION… DIDN'T OBAMA MAKE THE SAME 3am AD REPLY? AND WASN'T THAT ALSO FEAR MONGERING? To the changed America HE is proposing i hope DOUBLE STANDARDS are not a norm!!!!

1-Obama and camp throws dirt its ok, but hillary throws dirt she's washington as usually
2-Obama and camp call hillary a monster its ok and repeated by most supporter its ok, but she is acused of being the racist.
3-Hillary makes a 3am readyness add she's fear mongering, but Obama makes sAme 3am fear mongering response ad, SILENCE he's let of the hook for the same thing Hillary did WHAT CHANGED WORLD IS THIS!!!!!!!
All i want is lets have the same standard for everyone
THANK YOU

In this most amazing race irony and satire seems to be everywhere you look! Too bad this negative fear-mongering add already did it's damage…much like NaftaGate that was a complete and utter lie put out by the Clinton campaign. It really is time for change! You go girl!

Once again, CNN is airing free press in support of the Obama campaign.

Perhaps Ms. Knowles ought to think twice before speaking out about her political support to Obama, especially if she receives residuals for the television footage. It just may come back to haunt her and hit her in the pocketbook. Just ask the Dixi Chicks or Whoopi Goldberg, both of whom were subjected to backlash for expressing their political beliefs.

"Realitycheck," check your facts: "Obama Girl" didn't vote for Hillary, she skipped her state's primary entirely! The NYTimes covered the story at the time.

Another example of meaningless news to divert our attention off the substantive issues of our day. If it tickles our ears it becomes a news story.

i don't know how this strong America can fall for this stupid add!!!! whahahahahahahahahaha

It's the same trick mr. Bush used to make Hillary vote for the war in Iraq!!!! "Scare tactics"!!!

And now she used it against you pore Americans!!!!!
whahahhaahhaha

This is funny!!!!

I think it's pretty funny, the 3am gilr wants Obama to answer the phone. The girl's got a good head on her shoulders. Not because she's an Obama supporter, but because of how she carries herself in the media. How would you guys act if your image showed up in an ad for someone you didn't support? Some of the responses here make me shake my head in disbelief.

Ms Knowles, you GO girl!

Woman

If you vote for Clinton you will look like to fools who voted for Bush.

Clinton is a CFR MEMBER and a BUILDERBERG GROUP ATTENDEE

Look it up on Google and see what it is.

YOu can see the FENA CONSENTRATION CAMPS in the UNITED STATES ON YOUTUBE

Watch it and see your Clinton future under the North American Union.

Under the new world order you will be put in Labor Camps.

GOOGLE the TCC, it is already being buildt.

YOUTUBE – Alex Jones and see you and your families future.

Me and my freinds and family are prepared.

ARE YOURS??????????????????????????

Another example of meaningless news to divert our attention off the substantive issues of our day. If it tickles our ears it becomes a news story.

Being a part of the Baby Boom generation, tI find the current political environment is somewhat reminiscent of the late 60's with youthful idealism on the upswing. While I think this is a good thing and helpful to have the entire electorate starting to become involved, I think it bears mentioning that as adults we have the benefit of perspective and we learn to temper our idealism with wisdom and practicality.

I am very thankful of the 40 or so years of reflection I have had to make me understand the difference between what I felt was important at the time versus what is truly important and responsible.

I feel that McCain is the only candidate of either party who is able to straddle party lines and who truly has the ability to bring us together as a nation. Many are buying into the Obama campaign rhetoric, but it must be seen through the lens of his meager accomplishments to this point plus his extremely partisan and liberal voting record (when he has found the courage to actually vote).

Can your network be any more blatantly bias toward Obama. It’s news that a girl who made money sleeping for a stock photo commercial doesn’t support the message of the commercial. Give me a break.

You might remember the demographics of your audience. Trust me they are not the young people who support Obama.

Now THERE'S some poetic justice for you!! She was probably sleeping soundly in her bed because she knew that her eventual Presidential candidate was Barack Obama!!

Children often can tell which adults are fake and which are real. But I want someone to explain the final results from Texas. The caucas votes added together increased Barack's lead, not Hillary's.

Greg from PA (NOT to be confused with this poster who is from CA): PLEASE continue with your ignorant racist rants against Obama. Blog here frequently, and share your opinions with as many people as will listen. Pathetic, desperate Clinton supporters such as you are some of the best PR Obama could hope for. Every time you open your mouth and spew your venom, another person is converted to Barack Obama! Thank you so much!

obama should be president right on gurl , cliton sucks she voted on the war and obama awnsers the questions sespifecliy and cliton dose not

To all those people complaining that this article isn't newsworthy.. well, that's why it's on the Political Ticker! From the types of articles on the Ticker, they seem more anectodal than major ground-breaking stories. They are just tidbits of info to keep everyone that is looking for new gossip satisfied. The real stories don't end up on the Ticker, they end up as separate stories.

Who cares what the stock photography faces have to say? That's like saying "Girl on Rice Krispies box eats Trix." Come on.

What has always bothered me about this 3AM ad is that Senator Clinton seems to answer the phone and make a crisis decision. So far so good.

But I tend to get worried about snap 3 AM decisions, especially one from someone who in the clear light of day so easily voted for the war in Iraq thinking, "as she put it that President Bush wouldn't really use the authority we gave him–and actually go to war."

Personally, I like folks thinking about things just a little more carefully before sending us into another Iraq, Vietnam, what ever. A few advisors might be nice–you know like generals, etc. No?

Clinton supporters on here saying what's the big deal would not be saying that if it was the other way around.
The media has been trasghing Obama for over a week now because she cried boo hoo,and they obviously see this as a negative story for her.Now they are saying,what's the big deal.
If it's not a big deal,then why are you on this site stating anything.
As an independant,I find that it's mostly clinton supporters that spew out hatred.This does not help your candidate who wants those independant votes.
Also,Obama has set more laws and policies in the senate than clinton,so give up the "no experience" argument.
And,if he's so…inexperienced why is clinton now saying oh he'd be on her ticket(uh,she's still behind him).
You can't have it both ways.
Clinton,her camp,and suppoters have been so…negative and down right nasty,that I would not vote for her-EVER!
Clinton needs Obama supporters more than Obama needs hers.
She will not get them.

I think not. Media just love to spark controversy. By the way, her mother in that commercial is Samantha Power.

To Obama and all of his supporters. Go ahead and bash Hllary all you want. And Obama you stated that you do not need Hillary as VP (which I cannot imagine she would want anyway) if you were the nominee. Well, all of you will be needing Hillary supporters if Obama gets to be nominee and guess what – we will not want him.

Big Deal. This is not news. Talk about the issues that are affecting America. GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wait. To the people who are saying "I can't believe this is news", or "I can't believe CNN is reporting this."
You know they ARE reporting OTHER news, don't you? This isn't the ONLY thing on cnn.com. It's actually only a tiny blurb among MANY other news listed on the site. It just sounds like you're a little upset over the news itself, which is fine. Just be straight forward about it, ok?

I think its funny that Hillary's prize ad featured an Obama supporter. That means she can't even find actors that support her.

Man, some of you need to sit back, look in a mirror and take a reality check. After reading some of the comments on this board, I don't think too many of you should be sayng anything against young voters. Look at what has been voted into office by the older generations. Maybe we deserve what we get. After all, it is the adults that are supposed to know what they are talking about and doing, least ways on this board.

You guys obviously really don't do your homework. This young lady will be 18 in April and therefore will be able to vote in the General for Obama. Clearly he will be the nominee unless Hillary manages to steal it with her underhanded techniques.

She is very active in his campaign as a precinct captain. She helps register others to vote and has been chosen to be a delegate at the state level convention. She is a very active political advocate for Obama.

The young people is America of the future whether you like it or not. Some of you have forgotten what it's like to be young and full of hope, but Obama has not; he's tapping into the intelligence, forward thinking and hope of the young.

I'm not young in age, but I'm definitely still young at heart and I believe this country can do better and become respected again.

We have discovered one of the many young, progressive, witty, positively thinking young girls in America. She is very impressive. To say that she wants attention is bool. She is simply expression her dismay over the non-progressive Hillary's camp.

Boy oh boy, imagine the following: Casey Knowles watching the 3 a.m. ad of Clinton and saying that she is that sleeping girl but that she is an ardent fan of Obama. Sweet justice I would be inclined to say.

What was the biggest motivator when we were young? Someone telling us that we didn't matter? The more Hillary discounts younger voters, the more they will come out for Obama, and more importantly, the more the superdelegates aren't going to risk alienating millions of voters for the next twenty years. All the middle aged members of politics today were part of the Reagan movement, not for the experience of Walter Mondale. Hillary is only 8 years older than Barack and he's held elected office for four years longer than she has anyway. It's not called the Mondale Revolution for a reason. We were all young at one point, too, remember? Don't tell the youth they "can't," they will.

this sounds a little like senator obamas "yuppie and wealthy college kids "idea to make a little splash to take a bit of the press from Clinton! Nice tactic for all of those "college bloggers" to say nasty things about Hilary again. If I was their mother, I would wash some of their mouths out with soap!

CNN has proved to be idiots for Obama and love bush

Clinton is a Member of the BUILDERBERG GROUP

GOOGLE THE BUILDERBERG GROUP , you will be in shock

It is a FELONY and is against the Law called the LOGAN ACT

Bill Clinton was fined $300,000.00 for attending the secret meeting and the bill was paid with tax payor money.

Keep voting for Clinton you fools, you are gonna be so taxed if she wins.

Clinton is a member of the CFR, GOOGLE THE CFR

You people are followers not leaders, your sheepeople
Like cult worshipers who do what your told.

YOUTUBE – END GAME

If anyone thinks that Obama needs to go negative, this story is the kind of unforeseeable poetic justice that comes along with running a positive movement. I am afraid that Obama's message of hope and change will not connect as well should he buy into the conventional thinking. No one has yet been able to give a plausible explanation of the Obama phenomenon. The Stand for Change movement is sweeping across America like never seen before–in red states and in blue states equally. Factor out Mr. Obama or his positive movement from the political equation, and all that is left is a prospective presidential election with very low turnouts on either side.

Harvey Dupiton

Congratulations to Sen. Obama on his VICTORY in Texas! I understand that he is going to end up with three more delegates than HRC. Since delegates are what matters in this election, she can no longer claim victory. When will CNN change the map to reflect his victory. While they are at it, CNN should change Nevada too, since he won more delegates there. If HRC wants to claim victory, shouldn't she have actually won? Please don't tell me she won the popular vote. We learned as dems in 2000, that the popular vote victory is not a victory!

We have discovered one of the many young, progressive, witty, positively thinking young girls in America. She is very impressive. To say that se wants attention is bool. She is simply expression her dismay over the non-progressive Hillary's camp.

People who support obama are young, eloquent and know what the future holds for them unlike the clintons supporters who are old weary and uneducated It would be very disappointing if we let those Old folks decide the future for us when most of them might not live to see it so Obamacans both independents, republican and democrcts go and vote because those old folks voted bush and now they want clinton. I guess it time America hears the cry of we youths and young adult for CHANGE.

As an independent Canadian looking in, it is hilarious to see the type of people who support Hillary, they are much like her. All the facts and realities mean nothing, they will say whatever to support her and just turn a cheeck for anything he has done. All her claims are false as to her accomplishments. He has done it all, she is simply Bill's wife or would never have been senator or in this race. That really is her only accomplishment. Same as Bush the 2nd. If he was not George Bush Sr son he would never be anything, and look what happened when he became president. She has had it all handed to her, she knows nothing about truely being a leader, and that is what the US desperately needs.

If this girl has taken part in the caucus in Washington, that means that she will be 18 before the election this year. That gives her as much voice as any other voting adult. And if she is getting involved in the state level party, and going to their convention as a delegate, that gives her more voice than many, since she is taking the responsibility.

You shouldn't belittle her because she is young. You shouldn't say that she doesn't know what she is doing. I admit many people follow Obama because they want to follow the crowd, but there are other people who are actually making an informed decision. Contrary to some people's beliefs, Clinton is not the only candidate worth voting for. We can do our own research, and come to our own conclusions. Being young is not something bad. We have responsibilities once we reach majority, and thus we deserve a voice in the direction our country takes.

Reality Check – In fact, the "Obama girl" ended up not voting at all.

Did she sign a release/rights statement for the use of her image?
Knocking the product of the ad you appear in won't get you too many jobs. Guess it's just another bone= headed move…. Show biz future? Don't quit your day job.

This is rich only the Clinton's would try to spin there losing into a disaster. Obama's the front runner like it or not and he has stuck to the rules of not only the DNC, but his own campaign. The Clinton's are so despite to get back in the White House no only would Hillary lie, cheat, steel or undercut her opponent. She'd try to rip the Democratic Party apart while endorsing Sen. McCain, because she's losing. This behavior doesn't make her tough, but it does make her a degrading human being. She's obviously in co-hoots with so many that a dream ticket would go against every thing that Sen. Obama represents. The DNC needs to do the same thing that the Republican Party did. Take control and endorse Sen. Obama while they steal have a party to work with

I'm not sure of what's going on with this blog/tickler but I've sent 3 separate e-mails responding to this. The first one pretty much emphatically stated shame on CNN and Greg, Pennsylvania. The negative taste that this Democratic Primary is leaving in many mouths across America resounds of a vivid 11/7/00 election where the Supreme Court hand picked America's 43rd President. The second e-mail then listed all of Barack Obama's congressional accomplishments. It's amazing how none of the fairly intelligent e-mail replies get posted. I see that CNN is just as guilty as all other news venues posting only what you feel will give your network relevant controversy. You're nework mantra of keeping them honest is a bunch of crap. I just know and accept the fact that this too won't be posted. Unbelievable and as earlier stated shame on you CNN.

I bet she did not mind getting money from Hillary for the ad – hypocrit!

Who cares who this little girl is supporting? No one said all actors have to agree with their subject-matter. This is just the media taking another cheap shot at Hillary.

Hillary '08!

Okay, to clarify some things here that I read.

1) Casey is old enough to vote … she's 18.
2) She was 8 years old when she was filmed like this for another ad. This is old stock that the Clinton campaign apparently found and decided to use without her consent.
3) Why are so many people asking why is this news? First of all, It's not like CNN is the only network running this. It appeared on both ABC and NBC as well this morning and granted its not up there with what we should really be concerned about (the economy, this never ending war, etc …) it is news, because it concerns 2 candidates for President of the United States.
4) The girl didn't know anything about the ad until her brother saw it on TV and told her about it.

Thats right smell the CLINTON STINCH

it reeks of lies and fraud

What happened to real journalism? Ask the "girl" if she knows who Golda Meir was, or who Maggie Thatcher is…or Queen Elizabeth I (Not QEII) for that matter all strong female leaders who were not elected on their looks or smile…and they changed the world…in fact at least one was not elected at all…but that would be too much history or leaders of substance for today's market and today's journalists…

HEY insane Hilary supporters

Do you know your tax dollars are paying for Clinton's 5 MILLON DOLLAR ESTATE.

That's right, ah ha ha ha haha you fools.

Bill and Hillary are Charging the Seceret Service to stay in their little guest house and they are charging the Secret Service $10,000.00 a month to stay there and Protect them, and yes we are paying for the protection as well.

Oh by the way their house payment on the Estate is $10,000.00 a month.

You people are voting for someone who is having you pay for their MANSION, ah ha ha ha ha ha

What a bunch of Idiots, ah ha h aha hahaha

You all keep working those low paying crap jobs.

Hillary needs to make a house payment, ah ha ha ha ha

Hillary Clinton needs to get out of the race so the Democrats can start focusing on the real target. The numbers don't lie…..

After crunching the numbers from RCP Obama wins if he averages just 46.4% percent of the remaining pledged and unpledged delegates. He will go over the halfway threshhold while Clinton can not if she doesn't get at least 59.5% of the remaining delegates. If Michigan and Florida end up revoting the numbers change slightly (because the number needed to win increases) with Obama needing just 47.4% and Clinton needing at least 56.9% of all remaining delegates.

If Obama gets any higher than the 46.4% in any state the the less percentage of delegate he will need. If Clinton gets and less than the 59.5% the percentage needed goes up for her and so on.

The race is basically over and this is why the Clintons are begging for the SPLIT TICKET. Clinton needs it, Obama does not. Clinton needs Michigan and Florida, Obama does not. Let's end this mess because the numbers don't lie.

"Since we all know kids who doesn't have anything to woory about supports OBAMA. People who needs health care, strong economy & world peace supports Clinton."

I guess kids don't need healthcare, a strong economy and world peace?

Hey Obama supporters and Obama CNN: Isn't it more important knowing that your advisors and staff members, whom you do know and whom you selected , go around and contradict all of your statements on issues that actually matter to us voters rather than knowing who's the child in your tv commercial?

This can be a big deal if Obama's people are smart. This girl should be flown to Pennsylvania and be on Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Harrisburg TV news before the 3 a.m. ad starts running. It's important because she was portrayed as not having a say in who protects her in the ad, and being at the mercy of the president. But in fact, there's nothing to imagine about who that little girl would pick if she could. She has a voice just like a 40 year old or a 60 year old. Her opinion, but more importantly her vote counts same as you and me. Get over it.

Go Casey,its a free country,make a few bucks,the Clintons have been taking money for years.As far as the Texas delegate counts are concerned,dont hold your breath,no paper trail and they have all been lost.

yet again, I love the irony. Hilary no one wants you as president. I mean what ther politican in the world, other than some who is strictly in it for power, would still say they are in it after 11 losing contests in a row. Its only because republicans voted for so that this circus could continue and the fact it was yours and not baracks campaign that was lying about NAFTA. And we found this out conviniently the day after the election. GO figure. If this kind of stuff happened once an a while I might say coincidence but when its every election everytime it starts slipping away from you I believe it is all planned and rehersed. Americans are not stupid we hav figured you all out, 2008 is when you are going to be stopped.

so what if she supports Obama? He scene was purchased and used. Her opinion doesn't matter. Maybe she's using this for her own advantage to be in the media

Yea right, she's not even old enough to vote. How much did she get paid?

OBAMA IS NOT A BAD PERSON, BUT BECAUSE OF HIS TOTAL LACK OF EXPERINCE HE IS NOT ABLE TO COUNTER THE ATTACKS (ALTHOUGH VERY LIGHT SO FAR) THAT HAVE COME HIS WAY. AND I DONT THINK THAT HE WILL STAND MUCH OF A CHANCE IF THE REPUBLICANS PUT FORTH ANY EFFORT ON PUSHING THE ISSUES AND QUESTION HIS EXPERIENCE, QUALIFICATIONS, OR HIS STANCE ON MANY TOUGH ISSUES THAT ARE OUT THERE. AND WITH HIS NAFTA-CANADA DEAL, AND THE FACT THAT SPEACHES ABOUT CHANGE AND HOPE WILL NOT DEFLECT EVERY OTHER POINT BROUGHT UP BY ANYONE WHO IS AGAINST HIM, I THINK HE IS A MUCH WEAKER CANNIDATE THAN MANY PEOPLE SEE HIM AS. EVEN WITH THE BIG BLOWS HE HAS TAKEN FROM HILLARY, AND HER NOT SEAMING TO WANT TO PUSH HIM TO MUCH ON IT. I THINK MCCAIN WILL BREAK HIM UNDER THE PRESSURE IF HE IS PUT THERE. SO LETS GET HILLARY THERE TO FIGHT IT OUT AGAINST MCCAIN, AND ASK OBAMA TO GIVE US SOME HOPE AS A V.P. AND THEN IN 4-8 YEARS WHEN HE CAN SEE WHAT IT TAKES TO GET THERE WE CAN PUT HIM UP AND EXPECT HIM TO WIN. AND A FURTHER NOTE. LETS RE-DO IF POSSIBLE THE MICHIGAN PRIMARY, IT WAS NOT FAIR THE FIRST TIME. AND AS FAR AS THE FLROIDA CONTEST, I DONT SEE HOW IT COULD HAVE BEEN ANY FAIRER. NO ONE CAMPAINGED, MADE APPEARENCES, OR HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT AND THE POEPLE VOTED. EVERYONES NAMES WERE ON THE BALLETS. SO LET THOSE VOTES AND DELEGATES STAND WHERE THEY WERE CAST!!! AND NO MATTER WHAT, WE HAVE TO SEAT ALL OF THE FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN DELEGATS EVEN IF THERE IS NO RE-DO. WE NEED THEM THERE TO SETTLE THIS OUT, AND THE QUICKER THE BETTER!! THANKS.

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

I tried replying earlier but I guess it was not accepted due to citing a different blog. Last night, on a different (reputable) blog, someone stated they were a delegate from TX and had just received a call with the results that Obama got 7 more degelates overall. I have not been able to find this officially on mainstream media yet either. I will leave off my sarcastic comment on why I think that is so this can be posted.

Dani: this is a struggle for power between two generations. The older generation will lose this fight. They must lose this fight. All that "experience" has saddled a young generation with war and recession. How are we supposed to "pull ourselves up by our bootstraps" and live out the "American Dream" when we have been stripped of our boots altogether and seen the dream fade into the pockets of the wealthy?

She wants to get famous and make more money by…

100 percent behind obama, but….why is this news?

Yes she can vote

So long as you will be 18 before the election

She is 17 now so she can vote in the general

I heard her say she is a delegate for her precinct, county, or whatever now

I thought Obama girl did vote for Hillary though. News to me

Go Obama!

Obama came from a corrupted Illinois state.

AP:
Q: Did Obama know Rezko could be an ethical land mine for him?

A: He should have. When Obama was buying the house, there were plenty of news stories about a federal investigation of the governor and Rezko's role in the administration, including the fact that Rezko had been subpoenaed. Obama has acknowledged that "things had surfaced" by that time.

I don't think Obama has a good judgement.

If it wasn't for Hillary, this girl would still be unknown to the world. Now, thanks to Hillary she has had her 15 minutes of fame. Actually, CNN has givin her more than two hours worth of fame…Hmm. Just before the Mississippi primary…Ahh, clever CNN very clever. I see where your going with this.

i think casey ..youare just trying to get in the spot light for some reason or another ,,, so go to OBAMA… BUT BEWARE OF WOLES THAT HAVE ON SHEEP CLOTHS….you should be ashame of your self.

Haha! This is too good. I hope the Clinton campaign is listening to the youth of America.

Rove = Clinton = Monster

Go Obama '08!

people are hilarious here. read the posts. I mean, this is straight up comedy. Anyone can use those Getty images. if the girl was a Clinton supporter would we even be talking about this? not at all. Quit making this opportunistic teen into a hero. It is pure coincidence and that is all.

Hillary should go work for Saturday Night Live. They need another clown to work for there show and they've been begging her to come over.

This ad is a copy that has been used in multiple other campaigns. What a joke!

Wow! There are a lot of Obama haters on this post. How odd?
I'm sure if this young lady came out praising Clinton…enough couldn't be said about her support.

Clintonites…get a grip. Let go of the hate..take a deep breathe…find a hobby!

Obama '08

Obama supporters need to learn how to spell.

Hillary and Bill Clinton should be ashamed of themselves, here we have a two-time former president and a first lady ganging up and deploying dirty politics against a junior senator.

If Obama should loose the nomination to Hillary through dirty politics or DNC irregularities I strongly urge Obama's supporters to vote for McCain in the general election in order to vote Hillary out. That woman is too ambitious and power obsessed and will do anything to get her away and she must be stopped.

This is a ridiculous NON story. It's the separation of someone's profession and what someone really thinks. Are we NOT mature enough to deal with this? Why this girl felt the need to expose this is beyond my comprehension. No one, and I mean NO ONE cares what actors think about politicians. This is the media's way of twisting a non-story into a story. Grow up. The whole world IS NOT for Obama. Sorry to burst your bubble.

what kind of news service are you? Your bias are terrible! Who cares about this? Why aren't you reporting on something of far greater interest to the US taxpayer (I'm not one, thank God) like, oh I don,t know, the ongoing Rizko trial and relation$hip between Mr. Obama and a Mr. Auchi through Mr. Rizko… Don't you think the republicans are going to skewer him on this if he gets the nomination? why aren't you reporting on this? you're not doing your job!

It seems like the Obama supporters is always helping Hillary.

Remember, the Lady in New Hampshire who asked Hillary a question in a diner that caused Hillary to choke up was a Obama supporter. Her question help Hillary win New Hampshire.

It's the OBama supporters who is allowing Hillary to make several comebacks. This is so funny.

By the way, the 3 am SNL skit makes Obama look so foolish. SNL skit is so funny.

The suppose to be "grown" people should be ashame of the way they are reacting to this girl. I hope somebody belittles your kid one day and then maybe you'll think twice about your behavior.

The media is ridiculously. As soon as Hillary cried foul they stepped into line just as quick as they did when Bush told us we needed to invade Iraq.

In the end though it's not the media that is responsible and to blame, it's the large majority of voters that remain ignorant because it's easier & more 'comfortable' for them.

I find it very interesting that the Clintons are touting Obama for VP, while at the same time saying he's unfit to be President on Day 1 (lack of experience). I guess they'll spin the message to suggest he won't be ready until Day 2.

Don't make "Greg in Pennsylvania" a scapegoat- he's simply doing what millions of Republicans and Hillary Clinton supporters are doing- acting like bratty little 12-year olds…

Hillary Clinton, herself, gave a shamelessly vague response when asked if she thought Obama was a Muslim.

Grow up, y'all- I think you're only helping Obama because you'all sound desperate and dumb.

This exact ad is a copy used by other canidates in other elections. Clinton has to use archived ads, that's just great.

Also, isn't it funny that the Ohio Govenor who was a staunch Clinton supporter and helped her win won his position by harping on his canidate about releasing his tax returns.

What come around goes around.

Let's not start the week off on a bad foot, people. Tearing down a 17 (nearly 18) year old girl isn't going to help Hillary win. Let it go and move on.

try not to be nasty people .Shes just a young teen and has the right to
campign for whoever she wants
by the WAY she will be old enough to vote .. in April I believe.
By the way good choice Casey!!

what goes around comes around, hillary

The "new" generation was also for Ron Paul…and in elections past Ralph Nader, Ross Perot…Gary Hart…

Yawn.

Not only is she an Obama voter but did she her research and worked as a precinct captain in the caucus. Smart girl…a lot smarter than the Clinton sychophants.

Enjoy your 15 minutes of fame, Honey.

Of caourse Hillary of experience … about how to fraud … wow. That kind of experience is that what we need… idiot

Oh, my God!

It's amazng, but kind of what we expect from Senator Clinton's campaign. There is no limit to the dirt they throw to win some votes. Still far underdog, her group try to tell us Senator Obama should drop out to be VP for the "Queen".

Greg from Pennsylvania:

Your ignorance will lead to your demise.

Many uninformed Americans like yourself love to bash Obama as a muslim. Before you try to scare people to believe that Obama is muslim, educate yourself on the 13 American presidents that were FREEMASONS! Ignorant folks like yourself are so afraid of Obama when the reality is that past presidents were members of the Freemasons, which is a CULTIC and MUSLIM link organization. DO YOUR HOMEWORK BUDDY!

And again Obama is cool as a cucumber when faced with Hillary's kitchen sink approach…

“What do people think I’m going to do? I’m going to answer the phone,” he said.

A perfect response to a fear-mongering attempt by Hillary. I love it.

Obama supports are such haters. Everyday the same people log on here to blog hate.

Anyone who was awake in the 90's knows that America was at it's best. The whole world loved us, gas was under a $1, health care was more accessable, more than 27 million jobs were created.

CNN is in love with Obama, he never gets hard questions, never.

Hillary all they way!!!

There is always much talk of tyranny of the young, and the wisdom of the old. But wisdom has come from the past eight years of the old?

America is tired of these old held notions of the old know what is best, and people are beginning to question the old held notions of the past. America is on the path towards change and that includes giving up what we once believed.

Maybe if the old and young democrats could realize that both candidates offer a better future, they could behind this bickering found on these comments that the young are too stupid when indeed many of the young are more educated than the elder ones.

This is sooooo important. You know what? I'm going to vote for Barack just cuz Casey is a supporter. Sorry Hillary:(

Hillary Clinton needs to get out of the race so the Democrats can start focusing on the real target. The numbers don't lie…..

After crunching the numbers from RCP Obama wins if he averages just 46.4% percent of the remaining pledged and unpledged delegates. He will go over the halfway threshhold while Clinton can not if she doesn't get at least 59.5% of the remaining delegates. If Michigan and Florida end up revoting the numbers change slightly (because the number needed to win increases) with Obama needing just 47.4% and Clinton needing at least 56.9% of all remaining delegates.

If Obama gets any higher than the 46.4% in any state the the less percentage of delegate he will need. If Clinton gets and less than the 59.5% the percentage needed goes up for her and so on.

The race is basically over and this is why the Clintons are begging for the SPLIT TICKET. Clinton needs it, Obama does not. Clinton needs Michigan and Florida, Obama does not. Let's end this mess because the numbers don't lie.

People go watch youtube/Hillary unsensord.
The true colour about Hillary our first lady.
True Colour of the experience lady you want in White House.
Good luck.
Hillary unsensord Youtube.

Another or …yes Paris Hilton! Gold digger.

"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?"

Obama's whole campaign has been about not stooping down to the traditional political mudslinging and negative attacks. What exactly are you expecting him to do??? Punch Hillary in the face during their next debate?

I think the negative attacks Hillary is throwing Obama's way are hurting the party, and she needs to stop. Obama has a bunch of democratic supporters……How does she think she's doing herself any favors in November if she angers all of us right now. No better way to hurt voting turnout and send people Ralph Nader's way.

Does anybody really care what this little girl does?
Just anything to promote Obama right CNN?
Pathetic to see so many people voting for a guy who has done nothing, and votes "present" on 130 bills. The only thing he floats on is "I was against the war"
I wish he could take his sorry-a… back to Illinois.

We do NOT want him as our President.

News peoplpe must be hard up for a story!!!

GO HILLARY!!!

C March 10th, 2008 10:38 am ET

this girl can't even vote! who cares who she is supporting?

You know, people have birthdays.. and oh my she'll be 18 by the GE!

lets see. clintons try again to build negatives into this campaign because their EXPERIENCE tells them to win at all costs, and the young lady says HEY TO PHONE RANG AT 3:00AM AND 10 YEARS LATER I AM A OBAMA SUPPORTER AND I WANT HIM ANSWERING THE PHONE. this is too funny.

Terrific. The "youth" vote. They are going to vote for Obama because apparently he's "cool". Once they've stuck eveyone with their choice, they'll get bored and go back to U-Tube ane Facebook and everyone else can live with it.

This is not a NEW COMMENT. It's a couple of days OLD; Just remembered it supports Obama; Or It should but it does NOT.

The Clintons are only saying Obama/Clinton so they will get more votes.I say Obama/Edwards. If Obama went as VP ,he would have to not only, have Billary to contend with he would have Bill to put up with as thats why she says she has the experience,as he will be right there to help her, he will be the VP like they say she thought she was the VP for Bill.

But, no doubt wasn't, until she saw her picture.

The price of fame…

What is the big deal CNN?
Anyone could use those stock photo's.

Since we all know kids who doesn't have anything to woory about supports OBAMA. People who needs health care, strong economy & world peace supports Clinton.

What an irony Senator Clinton? You tried to make a cheap shot and it boomeranged on you……..Dont you know that Senator Clinton, most of the young voters in this country is for Obama

Realty check #1. Go do a reality check. Obama girl just didn't vote. She did NOT vote for Hilary. Do your homework before posting lies.

Obama served 8 years in the illinois senate. Now he is the state senator. He has more legislative experience than Hillary does. Comments that say otherwise are clearly misinformed.

This is really a mute issue. This young lady obviously is trying to get some theatrical mileage out this by requesting Obama do a counter add together. I think the mindlessness of it all will make him seems trite and not very busy.

this girl can't even vote! who cares who she is supporting?

So I guess there's nothing going on anywhere in the entire universe that this is one of the stories to make it on the Ticker. You guys are grasping here.

This girl should be happy with all the publicity she's getting. Thank Hillary for that. Plus, what a great example she could have been by supporting a woman for President. Go Hillary!

dude – HA! Nice snap at Hannity… but I personally find Curtis Sliwa to be infinitely more racist and ignorant.

Another gimic from the Obama camp and media- beyond the "Gee, how interesting"-NOT, what's the point?!! Does this change Obama's lack of readiness to handle foreign affairs and issues?! Does this change Obama's lack of experience in domestic matters and concerns? NO!!! Stop with this fake news and get back to the issues!

guess she's looking for her 15 minutes of fame. Please this is not reality tv get a life.

aww poor thing trying to sqeeze in her 2 minutes of quasi-fame… I love what makes this ticker….

This is NOT news.

Jill American,

Obama has a number of years in the legislator…………….Hilary voted for the war! She will do anything…………….

Who cares?

Wake me when we get some real news.

Who Cares?

For the record, this gal is not just supporting Obama, she's volunteered for his campaign.

THAT'S the newsworthiness of it. She is INVOLVED in politics as a young person and it IS interesting that she's doing what she can to help Hillary's OPPONENT and Hillary's camp used her footage.

BTW, she will be 18 and able to vote in November.

You Hillary fans are just Hillariously delirious!

I am so disgusted with the news media. I think they gave Hillary all the press and photos the week before the texas caucus just so they could keep this nightmare going. So people would keep tuning in and they would have good ratings. You could not find Baracks photo or anything about him for one week (maybe that tractor ad)

A lot of people are saying that this isn't news. Well, I think it is, because this demonstrates the difference in Hillary and Barack's campaigns. She tells us what we should think, he shows her what we actually do think. She's a real voter, not some old white guys like Pat Buchanan or James Carville on the news shows. I'm not going to get a chance to talk about my vote, you aren't either. Even though she's a white teenage girl, she's closer to the way I see the situation than the politicos.

What is the big deal?

Ooops, forgot,; this "Creative News Network" creating news for the "Best Political Team".

Creative News Network has become pathetic, bring back Cable News Network!

Well, according to CNN, she's about to turn 18, so she should be able to vote in November, according to CNN that is.
And she was 8, the original acting gig was 10 years old. She really did the Hilary ad for money?
And she lives in Washington, didn't the ad air in Texas? I knew about it because of XM, then youtube. I never saw it on TV.

That's nice.

So, that's all Hillary Clinton supporters can do and say, make fun of young people in our country for showing interest in politics? We have criticized young people for not voting in the past and now demean and denigrate their involvement because they are motivated by Obama; Wow how fanatical and hypocritical Clinton supporters can be.

This Young lady has here head on straight.

OBAMA '08

I take that back, she's 17… Even less of a reason for you rabid fanatics to attack her. Get a grip.

Cnn did ask her why she's voting for Obama. You'll just have to watch the videos for yourself to learn her answer.

She's quite intelligent and very well spoken.

Obama is hope for the future and that's not a dirty word.

So what is the big deal here

She is just one more person like the rest of us

CNN you should be focussed on the issues

HILLARY 08!

That's Hilarious. All of you that are questioning this story must understand that it Speaks to the stupidity of Hillary's ad. The girl is wonderful. Like most Obama supporters extremely intelligent.

Who cares, that her right. I wonder if she voted yet.
However PA will not stand in support Obama without WHAT and HOW. Oneway converstations do not fly in PA, just like they did not fly in OHIO, NY, and NJ. Only actions and experience carry the day in PA.
PA will show OHIO, NY, and NJ are absolutely correct in the democrates view of who they will elect as President.

Casey and Barack have much in common. They'll do anything to be center stage.

I am glad someone can step up and tell the American people that Hillary is a fraud. Yes a fraud and we will be in big trouble if she steal this election.

Man, some of you really need to sit back, look in a mirror and take a reality check. Some of the comments on here make me cringe that these people are actually going to help decide our next president. Maybe we deserve what we get.

I have to agree, this seems like such a non-issue. I mean why should we care who she supports?

This is what politics has been about for years. It will never change. I am unclear which mirrors Mr Obama is looking in. Who cares about the "little gir" in the add. She was probably paid to say that. Let's get on with electing Senator Clinton.

I am so sick of Billary and her man like tactics that I put the sound down when he /she is speaking. I use to like the Clintons ,but NO more ,it is ok for her to throw the lies but god help Obama if he says some little thing against her.
Obama "08 /12

America WAKE UP!

This a prime example of the kids voting for Obama.
17 years old is too young to comment about any candidate.

Her mother ought to sit down with her and discuss the economy and Universal health care.

Eric March 10th, 2008 9:19 am ET

"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?"

Where was Hillary's knock out punch? How come your candidate only needs to stay in the race to win and the opponent needs the knock out punch? I thought Obama's sweep of the Potomac Primaries was pretty significant. If Hillary is so well respected in Washington with her 35 years of experience, why did she not carry the areas that make up Washington?

I keep on reading this stuff that those who vote for Obama don´t know what they are doing… can i remind you all that he leads almost everywhere when it comes to the Americans with aleast a college degree? So you mean all those intelligent heads are stupid? Hillary should better do just a little research before using ads…… The main problem i see here is: Hillary thought the nomination was hers … she should start facing the reality now or she might kreep out with long lasting effects on her political carreer. There is just no way she can beat Obama on pledged delegates and i don´t see how the superdelegates will hand the nomination to somebody trailing by more than 100 pledged delegates. Wake up America!!!!!!!!!

Well, I suppose if Hillary is faced with a tough decision, as with a tough upcoming primary, she could always shed some tears. It seems to be working for her, and I'm sure crying at the situation that the red phone ringing presents will provide the solutions this country needs.

if you read all the comments you see everyone is tried of all the complaining and whinning, would someone please give this lady a bottle so she can shut up,when she wins you dont hear her, but the miniute obama wins , there goes the whinning , i wonder who would run the office her or bill ??? i wonder who he would have in the oval office this time>>>>>>

Oi Hillary, please stop fighting. You are dividing not only America, but al so the democrats party.
How long do you think America is gonna tolerate it?
Sorry Hil. Not this time!

Obama's admirer!

The phone Clinton used was made in China by ununionized labor.

No offense but why are we listening to these young people on something so important.

You wouldn't allow your children to make important decisions in your house, why would you let them pick your president?

Somebody needs to be the grown up here.

Everybody says if the kids don't get their candidate, they won't vote, well what does that tell you about their maturity.

I am college educated and not some model in an ad and if it is important to CNN, I have been campaigning for Hillary Clinton and will be making another $$$ donation to the Clinton campaign this week. GO CLINTON '08 !(PA, FL, MI)!!!

The "Obama Girl" didn't vote for Clinton, she didn't vote at all. Way to do your research Reality Check #1!

Anything for a little attention!!!!!!!! She's an actress she wants attention. The hate these folks have for the Clintons only hurts them and makes them seem small!!!
Hillary "You go Girl!!"

Absolutely priceless!

I’m sorry CNN. You may want to look at who is deciding the subjects for your political ticker. You use to be a trusted source in news, but all you have proven is that Jerry Springer has come to CNN.

I think the young lady is the best add for Obama – she is a Obama voter – how ironic – as a sleeping young girl she was unaware if what was going on – now that she is a young lady and can vote – she is voting for Obama. Add could be – If you are truly aware – you will vote OBAMA!!!!!

Hillary's campain tactics are so "good ole boys" predictable – I would sooner vote for McCain if she would win the nomination.

This is news you can xerox, hillary.

The ultimate irony here is that even EIGHT YEAR OLD CHILDREN were gainfully employed during the Clinton administration. This kid owes whatever paycheck she earned from this gig to the Clintons' skilled stewardship of the economy.

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 and integrity to the program. One truth that might then come out is that Obama has not won most of his support from african americans, but rather from states were there is a very small african american population like Connecticut, Nebraska, Delaware, Idaho, Vermont, Iowa, just to name a few.

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

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!

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

Hillary 08

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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!

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

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.

Who really cares???

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!!.

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?

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.

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.

Anonymous

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.

Hillary Clinton just knows NO shame !

Anyone but Clinton !

To P Graber:

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

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?

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?

"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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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".

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.

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

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!

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…

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.

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.

Who cares ?

Reality Check #1:

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

this news is lame.

who cares what she thinks?

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.

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???

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

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

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!!!

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.

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.

She is such a smart young girl. Very impressive.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

WATCH FOX NEWS OR MSNBC!

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

Obama and his children…what a joke!!!

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

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.

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?

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

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.

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…

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

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.

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

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

Smart Girl!

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

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

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

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)

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.

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.

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

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.

Hillary Clinton's new ad:

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

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

OBAMA ROCKS!

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

OBAMA 08

[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?

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/

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

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

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!!!

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.

"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.

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!

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.

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

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?

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. In any event, Thank you Casey for focusing on the positive.

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!!!!!!!!!!!

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?

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.

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

Blind leading the blind

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"!!!

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!!!

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

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

GO Obama! 2008

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

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

You Go "Girl".

LOL.

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

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

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

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!!!

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

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

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.

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

Who the hell cares about this????

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?

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

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.

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

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…

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!!!

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…"

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.

shame on you Hillary clinton

Yes we can 08

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.

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.

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

What's CNN' purpose?

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

BIG DEAL!!

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.

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.

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.

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

@ 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.

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.

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

Another woman against Hillary!

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

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!)

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?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH YOURE MY HERO

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

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!

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

Hillary for SNL standup not for president.

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"?

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!

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

I think this is great!

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.

Good For her.

Hillary 2008

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

Go Obama '08

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!

WHO CARES !!!!!

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.

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!!!!!!!

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

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?

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.

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

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

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!

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

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

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?

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

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.

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

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

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!!!

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

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.

The new generation is for Obama

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

YOM

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?

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

down with billary! and their fear mongering

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"

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

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

Unreal isn't it?

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

Reagan 08′

Hillary Clinton's new ad:

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

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.

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.

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?

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

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?

That's great!

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.

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

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

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

Ohhh the Irony of it all! haha.

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

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

PA

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

. . . . .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.

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

YES,WE CAN.

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.

All I can do is Laugh…

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Priceless free ad space.

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

Hahahahah!

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.

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.

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.

So?

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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

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

This is not news CNN.

What's the big deal?
