Hillary going full-tilt negative
Of course no one can say for sure until after the Pennsylvania primary, but this negative strategy seems to fly in the face of the overwhelming narrative conveyed in the poll released today.
In most of Pennsylvania’s markets, the only TV ad Hillary is running right now is a negative one — the spot hitting Obama over his “small town” comments, a political ad buyer who tracks buys in Pennsylvania tells [Josh Marshall].
The buyer says that as of this morning, that ad — and no positive spots — are running in the Pittsburgh, Erie, Johnstown/Altoona, and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton markets.
Moreover, it appears Clinton agrees with Doug Schoen’s (former Mark Penn partner) advice to abandon her “purely positive campaign.” I’m sure Schoen is considerably more knowledgeable than I am about such matters, but I thought Clinton abandoned anything remotely related to “positive” months ago.
