This has been one of the most expansive issues I have seen in a while. On Kriticle.com we’ve posted one post with 3 updates, another post with 2 updates, and now we close the issue with this, the official Barack Obama answer. All I have to say is that he definitely knows how to hire the right people and still not run out of campaign money. Barack Obama’s response ad answers the original scare attempt perfectly and, as usual, allows Barack Obama to come out the better candidate.
Hillary should learn, every smear she attempts to perform only ends up making Barack Obama look better.
UPDATE: I should have known there was no way I could post this and leave well enough alone. As always, there’s another update to the story. This time, it has to do with McCain! It seems that Hillary Clinton isn’t the only one who anticipates answering the phone at 3AM. It also appears that Hillary’s campaign copied her scare tactic ad from an ad made by John McCain’s supporters!

And did anyone throw this much of a fit when McCain came out with his ad?

McCain is a Republican. Everyone knows we worry about the 3AM calls.

[...] victories by Barack Obama have helped, as well as several smear attempts by Hillary Clinton backfiring. Then again, there’s also the many faces of Hillary, where she decided to try a kitchen [...]

I hope Obama crushes Sybil, I mean Hillary, in Texas and Ohio. It’s time we get this over with and on to the real competition.

I think the first one would have been funny if:
-phone rings
-sleepy-eyed dad answeres the phone “Hello?”
-chipper male voice, “Hello! Do you have a few seconds for me to tell you how wonderful -insert product- is?”
-dad slams phone repeatedly, cusses, throws phone at wall; phone shatters
-little Timmy walks into room, rubbing eyes, “Mommy, I’m scared”
I don’t know who would be endorsing it or why, but it would be good. In fact, maybe the voice over can say, “If our phones are tapped, why are we still getting courtesy calls? Vote for a Democrat.”
