The most amazing thing about this ad . . .

... is learning that Hillary Clinton sleeps in pearls and a business outfit.



Another thing the ad, being run on TV only in Texas, first brought to my mind was LBJ's 1964 ad showing a little girl picking petals off a flower while an announcer counted down to Armageddon and the spot ended with a thermonuclear explosion. But then Don Surber beat me to that angle. The WaPo's political blog has more.

Here is LBJ's ad, though:



Note: the Clinton ad is apparently getting a gajillion hits on YouTube so be prepared for it to be timed out when you click on the run button. For those who have been asleep all day, or not watching any news broadcasts at all, the ad says that it's 3 a.m. and your children are asleep in bed (hence the opening image). A crisis phone rings in the White House. So do you want the person answering the phone to already have "experience" or not? Then cut to Hillary, in suit and pearls, putting the phone to her ear.

Update: My bad, the necklace is not pearls, but gold chain.
