As much as I LOVE the character of Johnny Sack, that Bill & Hill commercial would have had more impact if that was Tony Soprano who walked past them. I would have LOVED that!!!

A satirical video clip alone is not going to sway those who have already decided not to vote for Hilary. But it has successfully achieved the purpose of creating buzz around her and her campaign, without having to involve the heavy subjects like health care and Iraq war.

I hope her campaign would not over-do this kind of thing. Too much of buzz in this kind will raise questions on the seriousness of the candidate (which I don't doubt one single bit about Hilary on this).

I interpreted the Hilary video the same way I interpreted the final episode. If you were a mobster and didn't see it coming when you go whacked, everything would just go black. I especially like this interpretation as applied to Hilary (and Bill) clinton. OF COURSE, I'm not advocating the assasination of Hilary Clinton, but it's kind of nice to daydream aobut.

Message to America
Let her be the president of the United States of America for the betterment of super power strengthen and world peace.
2008 the United States may come to have woman president. 1
This message is since January 1st 2002 @ GMT 2; 15 pm. London BBCBurmese Service
Who should win is an important political matter.
Super power US Presidential election will have an impact not only on US but also on the whole world where world affairs including peace is concerned.
Result of US Presidential election will have a pivotal effect probably involving an immediate change in the corridors of world history. World peace will be determined by the election. Destiny of American people depends on it. Economic recovery depends on it.
As the current history of US is the effect of 2000 Presidential election, the coming 2008 Presidential election definitely will affect the history of US and the destiny of its people.
The magnitude of importance of US and the world had been written by me in the Myanmar Gambia Magazine on November 16, 2000, later serialized articles in Gambia monthly magazine from January 2001 to April 2001, followed by July 2001, which also broadcasted by London BBC Burmese service on January 1st 2002 @ GMT 2:15 pm and January 1st 2003 / All articles carried predictions on the impact of presidential election on both US and the world.
I have presented my political prediction on 2000 US presidential election. Now 2008 US presidential election is just around the corner. As I have predicted G.W Bush has been witnessing the world on the fire, while walking the thorny political path full of portholes and US economy falling and super power is on the wane.
Cover stories of the newspapers have carried how Saddam Hussein had been deposed and executed. Now what about the coming US presidential election? What will be the impact of the result of the election? I will present the answers in gist.
Who will win is a challenge to astrology? Who should win is an important political matter?
It is an in-depth study, a philosophy resembling a political report covering the prediction of on-going presidential election. It’s been more than 5 years ago on January 1st 2002 @ GMT 2: 15 pm, London BBC Burmese service has been broadcasted that “The US may come to have a woman president, most probably from 8 to 12 years from 2002.” So that time is just around the corner and I have courage to report that Democrats Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton are astrologically in good shape. Under such circumstances Hillary would conveniently win the presidential race and Democratic Party Leadership woman president would contribute towards the world peace and stability of the super power. Also that would substantially change the cover story of news paper all over the world, while at the same time would prevail American economy would rear it head once more.
Review on 2000 Election.
President G W Bush was born on July 6, 1946 in New Haven town, Connecticut State. It was at the time of passing through a critical period in his life cycle G.W Bush became President of United States. Supreme Court had to apply centralism in deciding the victory of Bush in 2000 presidential election. His astrologically unfavorable condition had provided the opportunity for Osama Bin Laden to successfully hatch the Sept 11, 2001 plot. I have said such conditions would prevail in my prediction November 16, 2000.

A country or a nation leadership depends not only on the qualifications it depends more on the destiny of the rulers of that nation. A country or a nation can dance with milk and honey only when his leader ship is in the favorable period of life cycle of leaders concerned. If a head of state whose life cycle is the unfavorable period, tries to continue consolidating his power by neglecting the worst period, his or her future as well as the history of the country concerned will be to face unavoidable bad circumstances.
The security of a nation depends not on the most powerful arsenal weaponry including nuclear capability and the mighty military strength. Its depends more on the destiny of the rulers of that nation. If during the period of his leadership, his stars are on the pinnacle and enjoying the best fortune than the nation which he leads can be assured of security, prosperity, social harmony, political stability on all fronts.
How ever if the leader happens to be in ebb tied cycle when his stars in the zodiac is on the wane and wading in the worst period of life cycle than all his superior weaponry, the best of military strength and intelligence will fail to bring security and stability to the nation and his people.
That is why I can conclude that Hillary Clinton would win through the election according to Astrological science and theory. Such an election result would strengthen the American image of politics towards the betterment of the world and super power strengthen.
Despite the above instances, if nature deviates and she loses.
1. American economy and world peace would be on the wane.
2. US will have to pass through difficulties of immense dimension and struggle hard
In superpower tug-of-war during the coming 4 years from 2008.
3. New theater of historic war will arise and US will suffer from unprecedented economic downturns. Such even the US may find itself unsteady and shaky.
4. 2009-2011 China –US conflict may escalate, and the super power will balance with China or the world communist power would rear their heads once more.
5. The Middle East the Iran will process nuclear war head within 6 to 20 months from July 2007 and if war break out Israel will use atomic weapon for a first strike.

Therefore people of United States and especially all democrats’ leaders and cabinet members should give towards understanding to Hillary and let her be the president of United State of America for betterment of superpower strengthen and world peace.
This is the message to America.
My point of view is without letting myself be influenced by religions, racial, and political discrimination and hatred. It is dedicated to the profound knowledge of deep thus philosophy of political science.

What a joke...the sad thing is too many voters think pop culture is reality anyway and this plays to the average citizens lack of ability to think for themselves and choose a candidate based on the issues. This may be entertaining, but Hillary has to realize that this is nothing but window dressing.

I love how people credit the candidate with things like pop culture timing or having a sense of humor and not the aides. Do you really think she thought this one up herself? Most candidates are good because they pick good people to advise them and think up these types of moves. Personally I hated the video as it made Bill look really weak.

Sop ad was a hoot. I only wish that they really went for it: cast Dennis the Menace (actually, he's my
1st choice) as A.J., and have Al Gore leave counter and swager towards the loo. ('Gore' rather
appropriate name a possible trigger man.) After viewing the spoof, it makes me believe that 'Hill'
ain't over the hill. AND DOWN THE STRETCH SHE COMES !!!!!! 'Riches To Richer'.

Hillary is the Walmart candidate in all of politics if there ever was one. Cheap, low quality and attractive to all kinds of trashy low class idiots. 4 years of her running things will no doubt send America into the gutter forever.

And to think I've never voted for anyone but Democrats... We'll have to see what happens next time around.

Pathetic... stop deciding with your feelings and entertainment factors. 'OOO Look at all the pretty colors...' Grow up people and understand each candidate, the issues, and vote with logic. Our country needs every citizen to think with their minds, their beliefs, and their hope for the future of our country. Instead of YouTube and 'anonymous web clips' try actually listening to debates and looking at voting records.

Agreed with Jason,this is all about politics not just character assasination .I remember the smear campaign orchestrated against John Edwards,it was very effective in it's use of smear and insinuations against him using evolved psychological science to taint his reputation and alienating potential voters .These tactics are predominantly used by republicans against democrats .Doubt this ? JUst read most of above posts against Hillary Clinton,hard to find anything but personal attacks .On top of that even the sparse attacks against her proposed program are without any consistence .
George Bush has been very effective in repeating time after time that your country is at war with terrorists .Problem is that erorism has risen during his presidency only because of his complete disability to understand complex matters .People do not simply become terrorist because of religious zeal .THere is much more involved but that part is beyond his understanding .Too bad as this way he is fueling it instead of fighting it effectively .
It takes a more complex approach of world affairs to offer solutions .Hillary Clinton certainly has a more complex approach to this issue .
But there are also domestic matters .Her proposed reform of health care would make life less miserable for millions of americans .Modern health care is a must for any civilised country .For once we show the way in Europe .A more secure life standard has also other benefits like reduced crime rates and better education .In vesting in health care ,social security and education is very effective in fighting crime .You guys in the USA have everything to gain as it will allow you to spend less on repressive measures .

The Soprano/Clinton spoof was silly. Hillary needs more than a Sopranos rip-off to sway anyone. Her baggage and the b.s. she's done will be seen soon enough. 'I don't recall that Senator' is what she will say 1000 times. Put that crook in the White House you might as well give Al Qaida the keys to the city.

The ones who are criticizing Hillary Clinton for a playful video have a lot to learn before they should be going to the polls anyways.

I liked the video, and I think it shows that she at least is in tune with the general public more than most other candidates.

She already had my vote, but now she has a few of my friends votes as well :)

I agree with John and some others. I thought the spoof was excellent and shows that she does in fact have a sense of humor. It seems that the most negative comments are decidedly from Republicans who can only attack her personally. I am an independent and have not decided for whom I will vote, but this certainly puts her in the running. After the past 6 years of Bush policies, I am looking forward to January 20, 2009.

So, Hilary is trying to skip over the important stuff and gain votes through brainless entertainment. Unfortunatelly, they are a lot of people who will fall for this cheap trick. Sad. But, hey, she's happy now & getting the reaction she wanted - we have to give her credit for knowing what people 'really' want. What does that say about our society? We really have no right complaining about politics, this is what we allow it to be.

I thought it was very good and I do not think it would have been better with Tony Soprano aka James Gandolfini. Anyway, Hillary rules! Barack Obama sucks.
