campaign ammunition against President Obama isn\'92t the Affordable Health Care Act...
apparently, it\'92s Hillary Clinton. {\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxoVqMhuzTo&feature=player_embedded"}}{\fldrslt

\b NARRATOR: \'93But that\'92s Barack Obama, He also attacked Hillary Clinton with vicious
lies. \b0 \uc0\u8232
\b HILLARY: "He continues to spend millions of dollars perpetuating falsehoods.\'94

\b0 \uc0\u8232 \u8232 Romney\'92s ad recycles a quote from when then-candidate Hillary Clinton
battled Mr. Obama during the Democratic primary in 2008. Romney\'92s ad is a response to Mr.
Obama\'92s ad that branded the Republican as an outsourcer of jobs.{\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK

done by American workers to new facilities in low-wage countries like China and India.
\b0 \uc0\u8232 \b ROMNEY: \'93I know why jobs come and why
they go.\'94 \b0 \uc0\u8232

on the fact that Mrs.Clinton is popular with women and swing voters \'97\'a0Mr. Romney

use of Mrs. Clinton is a unique campaign strategy.\uc0\u8232 \u8232
\b \'93Romney's ad also probably capitalizes on Clinton's sympathetic stature with voters
in her non-partisan role as Secretary of State. Casting her as a victim in ads airing in a
big swing state seems designed to capitalize on this.\'94

the ad campaign will be effective. The aide said:\uc0\u8232 \u8232
\b \'93...I'm not sure that the gripe from her will be shocking to voters. And I'm not
even sure that using it would have been effective even had McCain used it in 2008, let alone
four years later when it just feels so old.\'94 \b0 \uc0\u8232 \u8232 {\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK

between the group of Democrats who supported Obama during the epic 2008 primary battle
between Obama and Hillary Clinton: the white, working-class voters who hold the key to many
swing states, like Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan.\'94
\b0 \uc0\u8232 \u8232 The newest ad wasn\'92t publicly announced \'97 Romney\'92s ads usually
