Newest Clinton ad plays on security fears

 Hillary Clinton's campaign targets parents of young children and asks who they want answering the phone in the White House.

Feb. 29, 2008 | For its latest television spot, released just days before the all-important votes on March 4, Hillary Clinton's campaign didn't pull any punches. The campaign didn't even pull the punch that's been used almost exclusively by Republicans this cycle, creating a spot that's aimed at parents' fears for their children's safety and national security. This latest ad -- titled only "Children" -- was created by Roy Spence, who also produced the red phone ad Walter Mondale used against Gary Hart in 1984. Video of the Clinton ad is below.

Update: Via Ben Smith, here's the Mondale ad.
