Hillary Launches First 2016 TV Ads in Iowa and New Hampshire (links to videos)

Hillary Clinton is launching her first television ads of the 2016 presidential campaign, reintroducing herself to voters in Iowa and New Hampshire with a message that focuses heavily on her life story and the memory of her mother. Two 60-second TV ads will begin airing Tuesday, Clinton's campaign said Sunday night.

One ad, "Family Strong," runs through the highlights of Clinton's career, including her decision to become secretary of State and her time at the Children's Defense Fund—both stories that come up frequently on the campaign trail...

The other ad is titled "Dorothy" and focuses on the candidate's mother, Dorothy Howell Rodham. Rodham's story has featured prominently in Clinton's campaign thus far; it's a story she tells often on the campaign trail, and it was a big part of her official campaign kickoff in June....

The ads are part of a $1 million buy in each state and will run on television (broadcast and cable) and digitally for five weeks. In New Hampshire, the ads will run statewide, as well as in the Boston/Manchester and Burlington, Vermont, media markets; in Iowa, they'll run on Des Moines and Cedar Rapids stations. Clinton is the first Democratic presidential candidate to start TV advertising.

If she was only money hungry she would have gone to the large firm. As with President Obama, he was a community organizer. She went to migrant camps to get the children enrolled in school, hard worker and still working hard.

These are great ads and will work to "humanize" Mrs. Clinton.. to the voters.. i already think she has done a helluva lot of good.. but in politics.. you have to sometimes do this with candidates.. this is going to be a hard fought campaign.. i dare the GOP jerks to attack HRC's family besides Bill... i hope it boomerangs on their sorry butts!
