Hillary And Obama Campaigns Both Pull Their Negative Ads
By Greg Sargent - January 24, 2008, 4:20PM

A truce in the ad wars? For now, anyway. Earlier today CNN reported that the Hillary campaign has yanked their radio ad in South Carolina hitting Obama for saying the GOP is the "party of ideas." The Hillary campaign is claiming that it was scheduled to come down.

Now the Obama campaign has responded in kind with their S.C. ad hitting Hillary for being willing to "say anything" to win. Obama spokesperson Bill Burton tells us: "Once we confirmed that Clinton was taking down her attack ad, we instructed radio stations in South Carolina to take down our response ad."

1. It's a positive move, though the last "truce" didn't exactly last very long.

We can hope.

2. Called them on their bullshit, they backed down, Obama regains the high ground by pulling his ad

Well played by the Obama campaign.

13. As I recall

Obama was spouting the Hillary will say anything shit right after Nevada and before that ad went up.

3. Is there hope for DU?

[SteppingRazor]

6. There is, provided no one posts divisive, fuckheaded flamebait OPs.

As long as no one on either side does that, there's nothing to respond to.

7. She pulled it after the damage was done.

And then will claim credit. I think the polls show she is slipping to third place in SC and
does not want to finish there right before the big Tuesday date.

8. And then will claim credit.?? - why not as she had to lead Obama out of the mud?

9. Obama followed Clintons lead? Good for him.

There's still Hope.

[William769]

12. But no change.

10. I'm glad

to see that Obama is responding to Hillary's message of Unity and Hope.
