Ed Morrissey breaks it down over at HotAir:
Whether Hillary wants to see herself starring in these ads or not, her statements speak on the record to the unreadiness of Obama to assume this office. McCain can make these statements directly with some impact, but undoubtedly Hillary’s statements will have more, because it’s a statement now against interests. Even when made against Obama as an opponent, it resonated sharply enough with Democrats that Obama only won a handful of the final 20 or so contests in the primary and barely made it to the convention with a lead.
Had Hillary used this strategy from the beginning, she would have won the nomination handily over Obama. Instead, she didn’t start attacking Obama until it was too late. McCain isn’t making that same mistake, and he’s not only using the most effective attack, he’s using its most effective spokesperson.
This ad is going to be very effective. McCain is doing a great job by featuring statements made by the very same people who now follow Obama (and are speaking at the convention) saying that Obama doesn’t have what it takes, but McCain does. First Joe Biden says that Obama isn’t prepared and McCain is, and now we saw the same from Hillary Clinton.
UPDATE: This may be the only time I agree with the statement “Hillary is right.”
