The picture of an 8 year-old child, sound asleep in bed, was used in an ad by the Clinton campaign. The ad suggests that little kids can sleep safely with Hillary in the White House. It turns out that the child in the ad, Case Knowles, is now almost 18 and is a vigorous Obama supporter.
The ad was run prior to the Texas primary which Hillary won.
Casey is not amused. Now that she has discovered that a picture of her, when she was 8, was used to support the Clinton campaign, she is in fact fuming mad and calls the ad fear-mongering and a cheap hit.
We all know that advertising and politics can be deceptive and misleading. But it is still embarrassing when it is shown to be so.
