It's two years until 2012, but a Hillary Clinton for president TV ad began airing Sept. 1 in New Orleans. The ad was paid for by Chicago dentist William DeJean, who told CNN, "I'm a dentist, and I don't think this country is headed in the right
direction."
DeJean told CNN that the ad will also run in Washington, New York, Los Angeles, and maybe Houston. He picked New Orleans first because the city is his hometown, and he figures it's in the news a lot lately due to the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.
The ad doesn't have a voice-over, just text that reads:
She has been a respected lawyer and United States senator…
She meets face to face with the world's most powerful leaders…
She was one of the first national leaders to begin the fight for real health care reform…
Her work as a leader in women's rights and equal rights is legendary…
She has more experience working in and with the White House than most living presidents…
She is one of the most admired women in our nation's history…
Let's make sure the president we should have elected in 2008 will be on the ballot in 2012…
Start now.
Where there's a Hill, there's a way.
Toward the end, the ad features a photo of Clinton, and underneath it says, "Hillary 2012" and "Hillary Clinton for President."
At the very end, the bottom of the screen states, "No federal candidate has authorized this message."
Hillary may say she isn't interested, but we all know if there was a way, she would jump in with both feet. I would proudly support her if she did run again.
