Here’s the ad everyone’s talking about.

Note that the phone rings six times before Clinton answers it in the ad’s final scene. How ready is she, really? Here are the two ads that it reminds everyone of:

This quote might be relevant: “One of Clinton’s laws of politics is, if one candidate is trying to scare you, and the other one is trying to make you think, if one candidate’s appealing to your fears, and the other one’s appealing to your hopes, you better vote for the person who wants you to think and hope.” That’s Bill Clinton on the stump, campaigning for John Kerry in 2004.

Update: Obama hits back. His ad, after the jump.
