Ruth Marcus: ‘Hillary Clinton May Be Having Some Flashbacks to 2008

WOODRUFF: "And we haven’t talked much about ads in this campaign, Ruth. So, in the last hours before people vote, are these going to make any difference?"
MARCUS: "Well, there have not been really kind of breakout ads that have galvanized attention in this campaign more than in previous ones. But there was an interesting one that was just released last night from the Bernie Sanders campaign, with which had this very morning in America, if you don’t mind my using that phrase --"
WOODRUFF: "From Ronald Reagan."
MARCUS: "-- with regard to Bernie Sanders, tone to it. It had zero message. From the guy who has a very crisp and explicit message, it’s just Simon and Garfunkel America song with pictures of Bernie Sanders and rapturous voters."
WOODRUFF: "Could something like that work? Because we’re seeing a much tougher race, not as tough as what the Republicans are engaging in, but we’re seeing a much tougher race now between Clinton and Sanders."
MARCUS: "I watched it a few times. I have to say, it made me smile. And it made me also kind of have flashbacks to Barack Obama 2008. And I think Hillary Clinton may be having some flashbacks now as well, because, as with Barack Obama, Sanders has turned his campaign into quite a movement. You see it with the voters in New Hampshire. And you see it with the polls in New Hampshire. And it’s not that he has — he can afford to run that ad, because it’s not as if he lacks a message. Voters know clearly what his message is."
