Casey Knowles didn't much like a recent campaign commercial for Hillary Clinton - even though she's in it as a sleeping 8-year-old.

After all, she's about to turn 18 and is a big supporter of Barack Obama.

"What I don't like about the ad is its fear-mongering," Knowles told ABC's "Good Morning America Weekend Edition" yesterday. "I think it's a cheap hit to take. I really prefer Obama's message of looking forward to a bright future."

The well-known Clinton ad aired in Texas before last week's vote and implied a lack of experience on Obama's part. It showed an exterior of a Colonial-style home and old stock footage of Knowles sleeping in bed. A narrator describes a phone ringing in the White House: "It's 3 a.m., and your children are safely asleep. Who do you want answering the phone?"

Clinton won the Texas primary by 51 to 47 percent.

Knowles said she didn't see the ad until Jon Stewart lampooned it Thursday on "The Daily Show." Her brother noticed it was she.

The file footage was originally shot for a railroad company advertisement, and the Clinton campaign bought it from Getty Images.

Knowles, a high school senior at Bonney Lake, Wash., turns 18 next month. She has been campaigning for Obama and attended his rally at Seattle's KeyArena on Feb. 8. Her mother, Pam, told The News Tribune of Tacoma that Casey cried and trembled after shaking the candidate's hand.

Seems like this girl could sue the Clinton campaign for using footage of her without her permission.

"Red Phone" ad?




I can't believe she won in Ohio.





My spider senses tell me she has no shot here in a general election.

The reason she was able to win in Texas is because of our enormous hispanic population here, and that's the only reason the bitch won! Notice that she took all of the border states, because these states all have large hispanic populations, and hispanics all seem to have a huge hard on for Billary for some unexplained reason.

It's a kind of crazy system because it seems kind of unlikely that Texas will vote Democrat in November?
