Clinton’s ‘3 AM’ Poster Girl is an Obama Supporter. Oops.

Over a week ago, Hillary Clinton launched this ad. “It’s three AM and your children are safe and asleep. But there’s a phone in the White House and it’s ringing,” it starts. Who do you want picking up the phone and protecting your kids — somebody with experience, or somebody without?

To populate the spot with compelling pictures, Hillary’s team used stock imagery. And it turns out that the ad’s most prominent child is all grown up … and an Obama supporter.

From HuffPo (via The New Argument): “While I love Hillary, I would much rather hear Barack Obama’s voice at the other end of the phone at 3am.”

That’s gotta hurt.
