Casey Knowles appears in an ad run by the campaign for Hillary Clinton. Casey is now almost 18. The picture used in the ad is a sleeping 8 year-old Casey.
The ad suggests that little children can sleep safely with Hillary in charge, and implies somehow that Obama would not offer the same security, perhaps because of his lack of experience. It was shown in Texas before last week's primary, which Clinton won.
The problem with the ad is that Casey Knowles is a strong supporter of and campaigner for Obama.
Casey told ABC that the ad is "fear-mongering", and a "cheap-hit".
So there we have it, a child sleeping safely in bed who supports Obama. Not the message that the Clinton campaign wanted to send.
