It's 3 AM: Do you know who your actors are supporting?

DISCLAIMER: LEFT BRAIN KANSAS DOES NOT ENDORSE EITHER PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. WE JUST FELT THIS WAS IRONIC AND WORTH SHARING.




The now infamous "3 AM" ad run in Ohio by Hillary Clinton -- largely credited with pushing the Senator over the edge in the March 4 Ohio primary -- has taken on a new wrinkle.

It seems the actress who is portrayed as the blissfully sleeping child in this commercial is actually an 18 year-old Barack Obama supporter. (If you're thinking "That girl looks like she's 8, not 18" you're absolutely right, the footage is from a 10 year-old commercial for a railroad company.)

To make things even more interesting, this is not the first such irony of this Presidential cycle. In January, Sen. Clinton had an emotional moment on the campaign trail in the days leading up to the New Hampshire primary.



Much like the Ohio commercial, many people have pointed to this incident as a major factor in her victory there.

The irony? The woman who asked the question voted for Obama the next day.

What does this mean? Most likely nothing. But this blogger finds the whole situation to be indicative of this crazy primary. Two major events which led to momentum-halting victories for one candidate involved supporters of another candidate.

But is really funny is that these supporters who ended up unwillingly leading their opponent to victory weren't making offensive statements or getting arrested. No, it was an innocent question on the campaign trail and a 10 year-old gig in a commercial.

It's a crazy world out there.
