in the last two ads and in the debate.

Many times when I do anything where I am speaking in public, I drop my voice to project, to sound serious, essentially speaking in chest voice. One of the side effects is that it limits my inflection or the variations in tone. I feel like that is how we have normally heard Hillary sound at public events up to now. I think the softer touch will garner more positive responses from those who were riding the fence or possibly planning on not voting at all. The subject/content of her ads have been spot on, and nobody should be able to fuss if the campaign is using Trump's and Pence's own words against them.

These type of ads play well in "middle America".

Always a danger in advertising, if you focus too much on showing how bad your competitor is, people start to just hear their brand name and not the facts in the message.

I expect several more high quality positive ads like this in the next few weeks. Hell, the negative ads against Trump are easy. A teen age hacker in a basement somewhere could whip those out in 15 minutes. A good quality professionally done ad like this one takes a bit more effort. I'm assuming there are several more in the pipeline.

About time to convince people that there are positive reasons to vote FOR Clinton and not just reasons to vote against Trump.

Former Bernie supporter here and more and more I'm feeling like Hillary is projecting that distinguished, matronly strength that has engendered many of the world's most successful female politicians. That feeling like she's a benevolent and thoughtful grandmother who really does want what's best for us, but you better not cross her. The "Mother of her Country" vibe, for lack of a better term. I hope more people are feeling that.

This is a sweet and touching ad that reminds us about what's at stake in this election: our children's future. Voting has never been more important!
