Team Hillary is on a roll. They put out some GREAT tv ads, as have been shared on various diaries here, this week. And they show the tremendous support that she has, featuring Mayor Nutter of Phili, Governor Rendell of PA and Senator Bayh of IN. But the one special ad I particularly like starred Hillary herself, as a little girl in Scranton with memories of Pinochle.
Today they put together a full 60 second radio spot "Setting The Record Straight". And man did they. It's a home run.

First, here's where I'm coming from. I started reading "Crashing the Gate" and in the first couple chapters they rile against the special interest groups that sabotage the larger progressive movement. (It's been blogged by Kos ad nauseum.) Then I read this:
While the Democratic Party should be the party of the people, it has become, with a lot of help from Republican framing, a party of "immoral" abortionists, "extremist" tree-huggers, "corrupt" labor officials, "greedy" trial lawyers, "predatory" homosexuals, and "antiwhite" minority activists. After all these are the loudest and most influential voices in our party--pro-choice groups, environmentalists, labor unions, trial lawyers, and identity groups.
Well, I dont know about you, but I dont feel "loud" and "influential" in the Democratic Party and I don't feel I'm a "special interest". So when Kos and Armstrong were at Drinking Liberally yesterday for part of their book tour I took the opportunity to go down and ask Kos exactly what he meant.
