Gary Hart that is, who wrote a very interesting blog today about the 3AM ad. He says:

By saying that only she and John McCain are qualified to lead the country, particularly in times of crisis, Hillary Clinton has broken that rule, severely damaged the Democratic candidate who may well be the party’s nominee, and, perhaps most ominously, revealed the unlimited lengths to which she will go to achieve power. She has essentially said that the Democratic party deserves to lose unless it nominates her.

Yes she is saying that. I guess Mark Penn’s big money mind is thinking that it works though.
