Will Edwards Ad Waltz Hillary Out -- And Obama In?

Chris Matthews can't get enough of John Edwards' brutal-yet-funny anti-Hillary ad, playing it twice during this evening's "Hardball." Set to the Blue Danube Waltz and based on clips from last week's debate, the theme is Hillary's double-talk on Iraq, Social Security and immigration [her triple-toe loop on driver's licenses for illegal immigrants].

But in the three-cushion game that is presidential billiards, two of Chris's guests surmised that the ad, in taking down Hillary, would likely redound to Barack Obama's benefit.

View video here [includes the Edwards' ad].

Will Edwards be Obama’s savior? Ping to Today show list.

Don’t miss the video of Edwards’ anti-Hillary ad.

Chrissy's going to be in the dog house...



"You might want to put some ice on that..."

[Huck]

Wasn’t there a Kerry flip=flop ad put out by RNC in 04 that used the Blue Danube waltz and picked on Kerry’s tortured answers? Who’s doing the ads for Edwards these days...Joe Biden?

[Huck]

Yea, check this out...here’s the 04 ad poking fun at Kerry

Yup, and I mention that in last para of the NB article.

Edwards and Obama have NO CHANCE, the game has already been rigged in Hillary’s favor, and the Unions are on board with it.

But, by all means, let them rip her all they want. It just gives us more ammo for next summer.

At least Edwards is good for something.

But Obama for Hillary? What a trade. Out of the frying pan into... the infinite void.

[PGalt]

Thanks for the ping. Very good ad. Hooray John Edwards!

i think the the anti-Kerry ad is better than the anti-Hillary ad... but i do like that they show Hillary actually doing her double speak...

[Right Wing Assault]

If Hillary keeps getting beaten up, I wonder what excuse she will use to drop out so she doesn’t get beat. Needs more time with the family. (I thought Socks moved out of the house and Buddy got squished by a car. No one else is left.) Health? Yeah, that’s a good one.

[EDINVA]

damn, that was a good ad!

[SaxxonWoods]

Typical media types, smitten by video. Ad is great. Ad will have very little effect. Hillary still whips the two wimps, unfortunately.

"If Hillary keeps getting beaten up, I wonder what excuse she will use to drop out so she doesn’t get beat."

If I were Chelsea, I'd have somebody tasting all my food.

[karnage]

Like... Willie Horton?

If only it were that easy, friend.

A twofer. Well played.

There is no way the beast can not win the rat primary. She has been running for 8 years and she and clinocchio have lined up and bought every important committee person ( in our committees they are committee men)in every important county in every important state across America. NOTHING can change this. ITT will be the rat nominee.

[Pistolshot]

What it will do is awaken the blinded Hillary voters who have any common sense at all (I know, I know) to the fact she is a fake, a bully, and a coward.

It will probably help all of them on the Dims side, especially the never-had-a-chancers, like Biden and Lott.

[Lee'sGhost]

I think it would be a good trade. I think BO has less chance of winning than Hitlary.
