^Decent, but the whole "honesty" thing should really be her first priority if she wants to win.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

Seriously, the country is f-cking crazy if she doesn't win.

I'm very surprised by no ad buys in PA despite the polls showing a tight race.

Priorities USA added $2 million to that NC buy.

Priorities USA added $2 million to that NC buy.

Does that mean they feel confident?

Maybe. Clinton's campaign isn't going on the air in NC, but it might be because they're limited to primary funds at the moment and don't want to burn through it all. I expect them to go on the air there in the fall.

David Plouffe, Obama's former campaign manager and advisor dismisses PA as a true battleground.

This article shows the role of data in 2012. Polls showed a close Michigan race, and Romney spent millions, but ultimately, Obama's team knew Michigan would be their's and didn't care if they won by 5 or 15. So maybe they are sure Pennsylvania will be there, even if just by a few points. Or just being wise and saving it for later.

Hillary Clinton is reportedly running biographical-type ads to reintroduce herself to the American people, not Trump attack ads.  I don't see any new ads on her YouTube channel, though.  The anti-Trump one from last week(?) isn't there, either - though it was available on YouTube.  Clinton could be running old campaign ads or perhaps has not uploaded her new ads to her public YouTube page.

TRUMP's favorables are already rock bottom, so airing negative ads might be an overkill.
Better for her strategically to try to raise her positives and convince voters to vote FOR her and not just against TRUMP.

She does have positive spots. Plus she's either barely leading or tied among white women and trailing among white men, so there's still room for Trump to fall further.

I think that's what her campaign is doing. She has a negative Trump ad but two are are biographical. Meanwhile Priorities is trying to bake Trump's unfavorable into the American electorate.

The Florida Democratic Party is going up with four 30-second television and digital ads this weekend that use the presumptive Republican nominee’s own words against him, painting him as offensively old-fashioned.

The first clip continues: “Tip #1: Be a dutiful wife! As Donald says, ‘when I come home and dinner’s not ready, I go through the roof.’"

The second tip: “Only date attractive people! As Donald says, ‘it doesn’t matter what they write, as long as you’ve got a beautiful piece of [bleep]."

The third: “Be resilient! As Donald says, ‘you’ve got to treat women like [bleep]."

And the fourth: “Be as uninvolved with your children as possible! As Donald says, ‘I don’t do anything to take care of them. I supply funds and the women take care of the kids.’"

Hillary Clinton's campaign is out with a new ad slamming Donald Trump's response to Britain's historic vote to leave the European Union.

"Every president is tested by world events, but Donald Trump thinks about how his golf resort can profit from them," intones the 30-second ad released Sunday while showing coverage of Friday's vote and the reaction in world markets. "In a volatile world, the last thing we need is a volatile president."

Wonder what Casey Knowles from 2008 3AM ad fame will do with Hillary as the nominee?

I actually think that's one of the best ads of the season. It's simple, yet effective. Although it seems like it won't be all that effective to people over the age of 35. It'll be interesting to see if they come out with some more mainstream ads.
