The Senator from the state of New York Hillary Clinton released her first election video. He was filmed in Ayov, the most difficult state for Hillary: there her championship is disputed by other applicants for the White House from the Democratic Party - Barack Obama and John Edwards. Immediately after the premiere of the plot on the screens of supermarkets in Iowa, accusations of racism and political illiteracy rained down on Klinton.
The first video made according to all the rules of political technology turned out to be short and is unlikely to bore spectators, writes Rossiyskaya Gazeta . Within sixty seconds, candidate Clinton, addressing voters, touches on the problem of "invisible" people. Invisible, first of all, for the current administration, which does not pay attention to poor Americans from the middle layers of society and avoids solving their problems. In the video, Hillary talks with a farmer, communicates in a hospital with a little girl, presses his hand to a locksmith at the factory, etc.
The video includes faces who, according to the Clinton’s campaign headquarters, personify ordinary people. The presidential candidate promises them that in case of victory, they will cease to be "invisible" for the authorities, and their concerns will be of paramount importance for the new administration. Experts, having looked at the advertising clip, approved the chosen plot. They are convinced: the video must “soften” the image of Hill in the eyes of voters.
However, as Kommersanat writes, the video caused a huge resonance among American bloggers, as well as visitors to forums of influential American publications. Their first reaction was for Hillary Clinton in many ways disappointing.
“I want to remind Mrs. Clinton that in 2008, George Bush will not move to the presidency, so his criticism is completely inappropriate,” one of the authors of The New York Times was indignant. The other authors were even tougher. “This eccentric woman doesn’t even really know who he was dealing with, but already wants to get into the White House. I have no doubt that she will become famous for some feat in the spirit of her husband,” the anonymous commentator in Livejournal was indignant.
Many political activists on the Internet were also outraged by the absence in the video of black Americans and immigrants from Latin America. "This is monstrous! We need a president who would represent all the Americans, and not such a racist!" - Commentators wrote on YouTube.
Hillary Clinton has no shortage of mind and experience. But its purely human qualities continue to raise doubts among conservative voters, Izvestia will slaughter. And this six months before the start of the primaries (intra -party elections) is seriously worried.
According to party political technologists, the former first lady of America "too polarizing figure." She can complicate the relations of democrats with independent voters and force supporters of the Republicans to come to polling stations. The latter could stay at home on the day of the election and stay at home, but knowing that Hillary will be in the ring, they would deliberately vote against her.
In the Democratic Party, Hillary’s separation from the main opponent - Senator from Illinois Barack Obama - is constantly growing. But in states such as Iowo and New Hampshire, where the primaries will start at the beginning of next year, its advantage is much less.
