Hillary Clinton to Start Airing Ads in Iowa and New Hampshire
The New York Times ^ | August 2nd, 2015 | By Maggie Haberman

Hillary Rodham Clinton will begin a $2 million television advertising buy in Iowa and New Hampshire on Tuesday, an effort that her campaign aides say is aimed at defining her candidacy ahead of a crush of Republican attack ads.

The twin sixty-second spots that Mrs. Clinton’s campaign will air – one called “Dorothy,” the other “Family Strong” – are biographical ads that depict the former secretary of state as a fighter, a theme her advisers have sought to elevate, who will fight for voters.

-Snip-

The Clinton campaign’s November ad reservation is still in place. Mrs. Clinton’s aides said they knew that August air time was relatively open, meaning they didn’t need to book well in advance and that doing so could have risked Republican groups or candidates buying time themselves to drown out her message.

This will be good.

I don't think she has any clue just how easy it is to make satire videos and put them online to go viral -- to the point that people will remember the spoof and not the original.

What difference, at this point, could it possibly make?

“Surrender Dorothy” I hope she doesn’t dig her Mom up for the ad, some kind of ‘Psycho’ thing. You can count on Hillary to do the wrong thing, whatever she does.

She doesn’t realize the whole world will soon see her as a complete laughing stock and that’s gonna’ be great to watch.

Hillary! is greatly miffed that she has to spend money in the Democrat primary. She might actually have to campaign for the nomination. She put up with Bill all those years, and that idiot Bush, just to get dumped for Barak. Then she agreed to settle for Secretary of State, trooper that she is. And now the ingrates want to steal it again? Don’t the little people know it’s her turn? And she’s a woman! She’s Hillary! dammit!

She is an evil monster

Still will get a large portion of the women vote.

Not a great idea enfranchising them.

I heard Humador hired the sound mixing team that made Meatloaf’s ‘music’ safe to listen to, so that Hillary won’t sound exactly like the rusty hinges on a cemetery gate.
Yeah, both Hill and JEB can’t understand why everyone else isn’t conceding. This is their time.

At least Hill isn’t going to be sandwiched like Yeb between Alpha males Trump and Cruz. I can see Yeb swooning to the stage floor the first time he gets zinged.

Her candidacy is a train wreck.

Yup. If these are videos of the soft-focus, sensitive-music, purple-prose type, which I’m sure they are, the parodies will be many and devastating. I can hardly wait.

You mean besides the free TV ads she gets that are disguised as “news” reports from the local news and network shows that pretend to be political journalism, right?

I was just watching a report about this on “CBS This Morning”. And indeed, the ad concerning families will indeed feature her mother. Gee, I thought that people would absolutely adore hearing about her father, since he was such a dear and warm and supportive man (sarc, big time).

Should be one on every address in America. If Americans had any sense left in their over fed, do nothing, over entertained, lazy, do nothing at all brains.

It’s simple to see why the American downfall happened.

Men only want to be free “sometimes”, most of the time they want to be taken care of.
