HILLARY CLINTON

Hillary will not let the "cling" comment go away, making it the focus of a new ad:

TITLE: "Pennsylvania"
LENGTH: 30 seconds.
AIRING: Pennsylvania.
SCRIPT: Clinton: "I'm Hillary Clinton and I approve this message."
Announcer: "Barack Obama said that people in small towns 'cling to guns or religion ... as a way to explain their frustrations ...'
Woman 1: "I was very insulted by Barack Obama."
Man 1: "It just shows how out of touch Barack Obama is."
Woman 2: "I'm not clinging to my faith out of frustration and bitterness. I find that my faith is very uplifting."
Man 2: "The good people of Pennsylvania deserve a lot better than what Barack Obama said."
Woman 1: "Hillary does understand the citizens of Pennsylvania better."
Woman 3: "Hillary Clinton has been fighting for people like us her whole life."
KEY IMAGES: The ad opens with a still shot of Hillary Rodham Clinton before shifting to a black screen with a portion of Barack Obama's comment in white text. Then, a series of unidentified people described as Clinton supporters challenge Obama's comments as they talk into the camera. They say they were insulted by what Obama said and that the comments show that he is out of touch. The ad ends with female supporters saying why they support Clinton.
