Eye on Ohio: “Partner” ad for Clinton
Clinton ad talks about fighting for the American worker
THE AD: “Partner,” 30 seconds.
WHERE TO SEE IT: Began airing in Ohio Monday, March 3.
SCRIPT: Hillary Clinton: “I have talked with people from Cincinnati to Dayton to Parma.”
Man 1: “The economy in this part of the state is terrible.”
Man 2: “We need a leader who cares about the people.”
Clinton: “It’s time that the American worker had a partner in the White House.”
Woman 1: “She’s going to bring jobs back here to Ohio.”
Man 3: “And fight for working families here in the United States of America.”
Man 1: “Hillary Clinton can turn this country around.”
Clinton: “The wealthy and the well-connected have had a president. It’s time the middle class had a president, who will stand up for you. I’m Hillary Clinton and I approved this message.”
VIDEO: The color video starts with people listening as Clinton delivers a speech in front of an American flag. Four people offer quick testimonials while standing outdoors in urban settings. Then three shots show Clinton greeting plant workers and shaking supporters’ hands at campaign rallies. It ends with Clinton, mic in hand with a giant flag as the backdrop.
ANALYSIS: Sen. Clinton is focusing on jobs and the economy, which polls show consistently rank as top concerns for Ohio Democrats. She pledges to be a partner with the American worker, but it’s the anonymous female supporter who makes the declarative statement: “She’s going to bring jobs back here to Ohio.”
In a 30-second commercial, Clinton doesn’t give details of how she’ll stand up for the middle class. But she has promised to reopen trade agreements to add stricter labor and environmental standards, provide universal health care, lower taxes for the middle class and create a $50 billion fund to develop green technologies, which she says will create 5 million new jobs.

2007 - Barack promoted a restoration of balance between work and wealth in U.S. tax codes. Hillary and husband liquidated their blind trust of nearly $50 million amassed during their years in public office. 2002 - Barack cautioned that without clear rationale an invasion of Iraq would encourage the worst impulses of the Arab world and strengthen Al Qaeda’s recruitment. Hillary told Larry King she didn’t regret her vote on the Iraq war resolution because like the Bush administration, the Clinton administration viewed Saddam Hussein as a threat to the international community. 1999 - Barack secured bipartisan support for health-care reform and low-income tax credits in Illinois. Hillary supported her husband’s Iraq “regime change” policy to divert public attention from his ethical infidelities. When did Hillary Clinton deliver health-care reform or demonstrate her economic wisdom and foresight while Alan Greenspan was warning of irrational exuberance as the subprime housing loans were pandered during her husband’s administration and her husband supported China’s entry into the WTO without any conditions such as protecting the environment or labor and property rights to levels that are comparable to western standards?By aMERICAN pATRIOT

The People of Ohio gave the last Election to Bush, what in the world are you people thinking there. You should be so proud. Now a bunch of you are supporting the Woman that said NAFTA is good for the country and said her husband was briliant for helping NAFTA along. She will screw this country just like Bush if she gets a chance. Is that what you want, 30 years of Bush and Clintons in the white house. Im sure they will steal the china and furniture from the white house again. OHIO how is that big NAFTA unemployment line………………..By AmomAwifeAvoter
