Girl in Clinton ad wants to vote for Obama

Filed under: Teens, Activities: Babies, In The News

When Casey Knowles and her family sat down to watch The Daily Show one night, they got a big surprise. Jon Stewart played a commercial put out by the Clinton campaign that showed a little girl sleeping. That little girl was Casey Knowles, who is now 17. The Clinton campaign purchased the footage, which was several years old, through Getty Images.

The ironic thing is that not only is Casey an Obama supporter, she's been campaigning for him for months. She was even a precinct captain during her state's caucus. Listen to her interview with ABC News here.

What strikes me most about Casey is how mature and well-spoken she is, even in the national media's spotlight. She says that though she's campaigning for Obama, should Clinton win the nomination, she'll vote for her in the general election.
