Man in Clinton's "bitter" ad not registered to vote in PA

[ErinBerin84]

Hey, I thought this was kind of funny, since we were all wondering about the people in Clinton's ad. Oh well...at least he's a Clinton supporter and not an actor who secretly supports Obama!

Morning Call notes:

Barack Obama can take some solace out of Hillary Clinton's new television ad in Pennsylvania. At least one of her supporters featured in the spot hammering Obama for his small town comments isn't registered to vote in Pennsylvania.

Clyde Thomas, who sports a goatee in the ad and says, "The good people of Pennsylvania deserve a lot better than what Barack Obama said" is actually registered in New Jersey. He voted there for Clinton on February 5th. He only recently moved to Bethlehem, PA.

"It shouldn't be a big deal. I explained it to the
campaign," Thomas said in an interview. "I see
Pennsylvanians for what they are. I grew up with the values
of Pennsylvanians."

1. LOL

Who here is not surprised? Wasn't there a savvy poster here yesterday that said those people in the ads looked like the pots and pans protestor; I wonder what ever came of that? Hillary has officially reached a desperation point.

18. Manufactured outrage

Clinton's campaign seems to have no time to actually talk about real issues. All she ever talks about are these artificially manufactured issues, like bitter-gate and Wright-gate, which have absolutely no bearing on anything.

2. Hillary supporters support Hillary!

It's a meaningless ad.

14. Josh Drobnyk the reporter is an Obama supporter posting on Myspace - the person has

moved back to his home in PA and will most likely vote in PA in Nov.

3. LOL. n/t

4. Where do they find these people?

What a blunder.

[SoonerPride]

12. On the street. Meandering around looking befuddled, but not bitter.

Then they give 'em $100 and say speak into the microphone.

5. Details, details

6. meh, dumb criticism, but one that could have easily been avoided.

13. It was supposed to be an ad featuring "real people" who were "genuinely outraged".

Now we are seeing the cracks in the facade. I knew that wouldn't take long.

Since so many Pennsylvanians are upset by Baracks comments, according to Hillary, why couldn't they find some?

7. Haha!!! Someone post the failboat image!!

[Cant trust em]

17. seriously. Sounded like some cue card reading to me

like watching a John McCain speech.

[Independent-Voter]

10. God damn! Hillary's campaign is just one clusterfuck after another.

Anyone still supporting that lying shrew after all this needs their head examined.

15. Don't they think people will check these things out?

[tokenlib]

16. More misrepresentation from a sloppy campaign..

It really isn't that big a deal... Except,I'm sure they could have found all die-hard Hillary supporters to slam Barack Obama. But why didn't they??? Are they that lazy???

Sloppy...
