Clinton’s ‘Magical’ New Radio Spot

Sat, January 19, 2008 - 11:35 AM

Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign is hoping to score with a new radio ad airing in South Carolina featuring Earvin "Magic" Johnson.

In the ad, the all-time Los Angeles Lakers great reminds voters that experience counts – on the basketball court or in the White House.

“Whether it's winning championships or a president who can lead us back to greatness, I'll always want the most prepared and experienced person leading my team," says Johnson, who has endorsed Clinton and campaigned with her.

“That's why I'm asking you to join me in voting for Hillary Clinton for President,” Johnson says.

But who will Johnson’s career-long arch-nemesis, Boston Celtic great Larry Bird, be endorsing?

Regardless, Johnson certainly had some magical moves in his storied college and NBA basketball career.

As for Clinton? Check out some of these moves when she and Johnson appeared together at an event in South Los Angeles in 2007.
