No sooner had Barack Obama publicly announced his new running mate had John McCains campaign produced an attack ad asking: Why not Hillary?
Passed Over will hit the airwaves at (you guessed it) 3 a.m. Sunday. The timing is a reference to Hillary Clintons national security ad during the Democratic primary and the same time the Obama campaign sent out its text message announcing Delaware Sen. Joseph Biden as the vice-presidential nominee.
She won millions of votes. But isnt on his ticket. Why? an announcer says in the 30-second spot.
The answer? For speaking the truth.
The ad, which has not yet been released, then ticks off a litany of criticism Clinton used against Obama in the prolonged primary, according to a transcript sent to reporters.
You never hear the specifics, Clinton says.
On the Rezko scandal, the voice says.
We still dont have a lot of answers about Senator Obama, Clinton says in footage from the primaries.
Senator Obamas campaign has become increasingly negative, Clinton says in another scene.
The announcer closes by saying The truth hurt. And Obama didnt like it.

I think this ad is silly. Sen. Clinton as VP did not poll as well as Sen. Biden as VP. It’s all about the numbers. It’s not really any more complicated than that.
John McCain has grown a large set of political balls here lately. I’m starting to like this guy.
sure beats bob dope in 1996, huh?
Holy crap the RNC keeps popping this pubbies left and right!! ONLY one thing to do...donate more money!! The RNC HAS FINALLY GROWN SOME BOWLING BALLS!!
I beg to differ.
Hillary got nailed by the media and its love for a man.
Methinks the Dims have finally painted themselves into a deep corner. (snicker!)
Keep breathing, Johnnie-Mac, keep breathing.
Silly goose it’s not about polling it’s about creating more CHOAS in the RAT party! HELLLLLLLO!
The script suggests a 1-minute ad, which means YouTube only...no “airways”.
Good. Now name Sarah Palin right after Obama’s speech to put in the final nail, and suck out 20% of Hillary supporters on Nov. 4th.
what poll did you see? the one I saw she polled 28% to Biden at 6%, that was on Fox this evening.
Can't wait to hear Bill Clinton's speech after the 3am slap of his wife.
Actually, Clinton had better numbers and 18 million votes. In fact, I think it’s rather unprecedented... Has there ever been a race where both candidates got almost equal amounts of votes and the eventual winner didn’t pick the other candidate as their running mate?
DELEGATES: WHO SHOULD OBAMA CHOOSE
Hillary Clinton 28%
Joe Biden 6
John Edwards 4
Bill Richardson 4
Evan Bayh 4
I always thought “0 would name McLame as his VP and vice-versus, Now I think McAmnesty will Hitlery as his VP. A win-win!
McCain had better name Romney, and fast (or) Savage or Limbaugh. Actually my first choice is John R. Bolton
Are you getting concerned? lol
Could this be a clue that McCain is going to pick a woman?
If the GOP (Geriatric Old Poops) can’t drive these two Democrat Leftist bozos into the history books as the most rejected pair in Presidential elections -— something is seriously wrong..
America can’t have fallen so far as to render these unaccomplished morons as “Presidential”......
Surely NOT! I hope!
The main things is we should all be hoping and praying for utter chaos, rioting, floor fighting, hair pulling, bats and chairs over heads, during the DNC. I think you would all agree with me on that.
