This is the sound of a political ad backfiring

It turns out that the little sleeping girl in Clinton's now-infamous "3 a.m. ad" is today an 18-year-old precinct captain for the Obama campaign:
The file footage was originally shot for a railroad company advertisement. The Clinton campaign bought it from Getty Images.

Knowles, a senior at Bonney Lake High School who turns 18 next month, has been campaigning for Obama. She attended his rally at Seattle's KeyArena on Feb. 8. Her mother, Pam, told The News Tribune of Tacoma that Casey cried and trembled after shaking the candidate's hand.

The next day, she was a Democratic precinct captain for the state's caucuses. If she plays her cards right, she could go to the national convention.

Here's the CNN story (which, I might add, has an inscrutable--and awesome--graphic at the end that patriotically implores you to rate the video... presumably it is designed by "PatriotsMaxim" himself):
