First Read is reporting that the Clinton campaign announced another 3am TV ad today attacking McCain on the economy. Clinton communications director Howard Wolfson said he believes that it's the first Democratic TV ad this cycle to mention McCain.
The ads are airing in Pennsylvania.

Announcer: It's 3 am, and your children are safe and asleep.
But there's a phone ringing in the White House and this time the crisis is economic.
Home foreclosures mounting, markets teetering.
John McCain just said the government shouldn't take any real action on the housing crisis, he'd let the phone keep ringing.
Hillary Clinton has a plan to protect our homes, create jobs.
It's 3 am, time for a president who's ready.
Hillary Clinton: I'm Hillary Clinton and I approve this message.
Interesting move -- already way behind in money, delegates and popular vote, the Clinton campaign is likely trying another tactic to convince the electorate that she's already won by attacking the Republican nominee.
Me? I'm sick of the 3am stuff. It didn't work well the first time, and I doubt it'll be any more effective now. I wonder if Penn found a microtrend?
