Clinton releases first radio ad, targets black voters


Hillary Clinton has launched the first radio ad of her presidential campaign.

Clinton's ad is the first radio spot released by her presidential campaign. Entitled "Invisible," the ad touches on several issues important to black voters here, such as health care, crumbling schools, and the Bush administration's response to Hurricane Katrina.

The ad argues that black voters are "invisible" to President Bush. "And if you're stuck on a rooftop or stranded in the Superdome during a hurricane, you're invisible to this president even when you're on CNN," says Clinton during the ad, plucking a line from her September 16 speech to the Charleston NAACP.

The ad will run on two-dozen radio stations of "predominantly African-American listenership" across the state, according to the Clinton campaign....
