Houston Chronicle 2/29/08Obama: Clinton trying to 'scare up votes' with new adAt a meeting with veterans in South Houston this morning, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama strongly disputed charges from the campaign of Hillary Clinton that he was not ready to make emergency decisions in the White House.
Obama was responding to a new ad by his Democratic presidential rival that asks voters who they want to pick up the phone at 3 a.m in the White House -- a spot which underscores Clinton's campaign theme that she is the more seasoned candidate.
With the pivotal March 4 Texas primary just four days away, Obama said "the question is not who you want to pick up the call, the question is what kind of judgment will you exercise when you pick up that phone."
