Dick Morris Ad for Obama

Dick Morris has a suggestion for Obama:

"The next time Hillary uses the recycled red phone ad, counter with one of your own. When the phone rings in the middle of the night, have a woman’s voice, with a flat Midwestern accent, answer it and say, “Hold on” into the receiver. Then she should shout, “Bill! It’s for you!”

Because with Hillary’s complete lack of any meaningful experience in foreign affairs, and her lack of the “testing” that she boldly claims, she’ll be yelling for Bill."
That, and it would imply Bill has another woman calling at 3am. Morris, who has as much to gain from Hillary winning as anyone, says she's done:

"The race is over.

The results are already clear. Obama will go to the Democratic Convention with a lead of between 100 and 200 elected delegates.
...
Will Hillary win Pennsylvania? Who cares? Even if she were to sweep the remaining primaries and caucuses by 10 points, she would move just 60 votes closer to Obama’s total of elected delegates. And she won’t sweep them all. Even if Hillary wins Pennsylvania, the largest prize up for grabs, Obama will probably win North Carolina, which is almost as large.
I reassert my submission that Obama go ahead and offer Hillary the #2 spot now. If she agrees, well, fine. If she does not, then you're more free to paint her as the spoiler who's out of touch, etc, etc. The people have spoken.
