One of the children featured in the controversial "3:00 am advertisement" for the Clinton Campaign is now 17 years-old and "fervent" supporter of Barrack Obama. The advertisement features sleeping children in their beds and poses the question "It's 3:00 am and your children are safely asleep. Who do you want answering the phone?". The girl, Casey Knowles, was eight-years-old in the ad but is now almost 18-years old, working as a campaign volunteer for Obama. The video of Knowles is stock footage, which was produced while she was working as a TV extra nine years ago. The Clinton ad began running the week ahead of the Texas and Ohio primaries with hopes of highlighting Obama's alleged lack of experience. Knowles said her brother noticed the ad on television and her family was surprised to she where her image had shown up. The Clinton campaign purchased the video from Getty images. Knowles said on NBC's Today show she was not not pleased with the Clinton Ad. "I felt a little bad that my image was being used in this fear-mongering message." She added "I don't think this ad was the most classy move on her (Clinton's) part. I think it was a low blow sort of move. I'm not a big fan of the ad and the tactic."
