Paper Roses

For the last few days, I have noticed a change in the Clinton TV ads.

Not so much the content, but the change is in the voice of Hillary. Has her ad staff decided that a change in her voice would make her presentation more believable? I still don't know who I will support but I find this situation a little strange. Just Me?
Somehow, the more gentle voice does not make me a believer. Still don't know where I will place my vote but the voice change does not cut it.

her some money, because "didn't I want more moms in Congress?". And she said hang on, here are some words from Hillary.
I just hung up. Good grief.

But lots of stuff I read here does. I might end up in the hospital with a concussion if this keeps up.

Hillary is overcooked chicken. She is done. America is already sick of hearing and seeing her 24/7 and the election has not even started yet. YES IT IS HER LACK OF integrity that is her most problematic area.

It will show itself in Iowa and New Hampshire shortly in the form of astounding losses to Bernie. However, Bernie will do us proud in the Geneeral Election which will be a cakewalk due to the strength and courage of our nominee having won the REAL General Election which is called The Democratic Presidential Primary.

... But I didn't think it was an A plus for a snark. I'd give it about a D-. I enjoy a good snark. This wasn't one of them,

Don't think I've seen an ad from any candidate.

But, I don't watch TV much and when I do I usually don't pay much attention to commericals.

her handlers have her using a different microphone. Everyone is aware of the sabotage Fake Noise pulled on Dean and the noise cancelling Mic. It is all optics and sound bites. About time someone in the Democratic Party started to watch the little things and the gotcaha moments.

Even more often than she changes her stances on issues. Just one more indication that she has no principles.

They think a change in voice will turn this etch-a-sketch over and shake?

For some it probably will.

Perhaps I am the only one who noticed this. My thought was that the ad was an attempt to soften her voice. In my mind(and ear) there is a definite change.
I'm not trying to make trouble, just an observation.
