Clinton Touts Change on N.H. Airwaves

Wednesday, September 5, 2007

WASHINGTON -- Seeking to secure a theme from her presidential rivals,

Hillary Rodham Clinton will begin airing ads in Iowa and New Hampshire this

week that cast her as the Democratic candidate best suited to bring about

change to the country.

The ad is Clinton's second in Iowa and her first in New Hampshire. They are

scheduled to run statewide.

The New York senator and former first lady enters the post-Labor Day stretch

of the campaign eager to confront her two closest opponents -- Sen. Barack

Obama of Illinois and former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina _ on turf

they have tried to carve out for themselves.

Obama and Edwards are running as agents of change who are not beholden to

Washington's institutions of power.

Clinton's new message, as stated in the ad: "If we have the will, she has

the strength. If we have the conviction, she has the experience. If we're

ready for change, she's ready to lead."

The ad, titled "Change," begins with an announcer stating: "We will change

things in this country. Because we want it. Because we have one candidate

who spent her life fighting for it. Standing up for our families, our

children, our veterans. We will end this war. We will give health coverage

to everyone. We will be energy independent."

Polls show that the public gives Clinton a significant lead over her rivals

on experience -- an image built on her active policy role as first lady and

more than six years in the Senate. But polls also show that voters appear to

value a new direction and new ideas more than experience alone.

In a CNN-Opinion Research Corp. poll last month, 40 percent of respondent

said Clinton was the candidate most likely to bring about change; 27 percent

said the same about Obama and 15 percent described Edwards that way.

But Obama and Edwards have been aggressively promoting themselves as

Washington outsiders more capable of changing Washington's direction. The

comparison to Clinton is often implicit, but clear. In a new stump speech,

Edwards has been blasting away at "the system in Washington," calling it

"rigged by greedy powers."

In a memo promoting their new ad, the Clinton campaign states: "By touting

Hillary's experiences as a change agent, the Clinton campaign is making

clear that to make change happen, you need the kind of strength and

experience Hillary has accrued during her more than 35 years of advocacy."
