BONNEY LAKE, Wash. — Casey Knowles didn't much like a recent campaign commercial for Hillary Clinton — even though she's in it as a sleeping 8-year-old.

After all, she's about to turn 18 now and is a big supporter of Barack Obama.

"What I don't like about the ad is its fear-mongering," Knowles told ABC's "Good Morning America Weekend Edition" yesterday. "I think it's a cheap hit to take. I really prefer Obama's message of looking forward to a bright future."

The Clinton ad aired in Texas before last week's vote and implied a lack of experience on Obama's part. It showed the exterior of a home and old stock footage of Knowles sleeping in bed. Casey was filmed when the family used to work as extras for commercials, said her mother, Pam Knowles. A narrator describes a phone ringing in the White House: "It's 3 a.m. and your children are safely asleep. Who do you want answering the phone?"

Clinton won the Texas primary by a 51-47 percent margin.

Knowles said she didn't see the ad until Jon Stewart lampooned it Thursday on "The Daily Show." Knowles, a senior at Bonney Lake High School, has been campaigning for Obama. She attended his rally at Seattle's KeyArena on Feb. 8 and shook 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.

Not to mention that she could be in another ad. After her identity became known, Obama's campaign contacted her.

"I mentioned that we should make a counter ad, me and Obama, against Hillary," she said. "They thought that was really funny. They actually might take me up on it."

That said, Knowles said she plans to vote for whichever Democrat wins the nomination.

THE WEEK AHEAD

Obama's campaign charged Clinton's campaign with attempting "to deceive the American people just so that they can win this election."

Obama easily won caucuses in Wyoming on Saturday. Obama is to travel today to Mississippi, where he is leading in polls ahead of tomorrow's primary. Clinton will campaign in Pennsylvania, which will vote on April 22.

After Clinton's wins in Ohio and Texas, Obama sent out a memo characterizing Clinton's strategy for victory as "tearing Barack Obama down" and said her campaign "should stop telling the American people things that they know aren't true."

Clinton's campaign continued to hit Obama over comments from Harvard professor Samantha Power, who resigned from his campaign Friday after calling Clinton a "monster."
