  Daaamn, That Was Fast

  The Obama campaign comes back on Hillary's "3 a.m." ad with their own takeoff, "Ringing."

  It starts like Clinton’s, but quickly morphs: "When that call gets answered, shouldn’t the president be the one—the only one—who had judgment and courage to oppose the Iraq war from the start. … Who understood the REAL threat to America was al-Qaeda, in Afghanistan, not Iraq."

  Nice twist, but the real story is the turnaround. That took what, 12 hours? I'm picturing David Axelrod barking into the phone, "Get me kids, cute kids! Asleep! With blue light!"
