Remember Hillary Clinton’s red phone ad, which told us to rely on her experience to protect us?

Remember that little girl, safe and asleep in bed, kept safe by Hillary Clinton?

Well, it turns out that the footage used in that ad was 8-year-old stock footage of Casey  Knowles, now 17.

And it turns out that Knowles is not just an Obama supporter; she was an Obama precinct captain in the Washington caucus.

TPM has more:

“I think it would be really wonderful if me and Barack Obama could get together and make a nice counter ad,” Knowles said.

[...]

Casey would, however, prefer that Hillary, rather than John McCain, answer that 3 A.M. call. She tells King5.com that she’ll vote for Hillary in the general should she win the nomination.

A bit of an embarrassing gaffe on the part of the Clinton campaign.

Lesson for the candidates: next time, make sure the people in your ads actually support your candidate.
