A quote from a bygone age that casts an interesting light on HRC's new "3am phone call" ad:

"One of Clinton's laws of politics is this: If one candidate's trying to scare you, and the other one's trying to get you to think; if one candidate's appealing to your fears, and the other one's appealing to your hopes; you better vote for the person who wants you to think and hope."
-Bill Clinton, 2004
