Sen. Hillary Clinton's first TV commercials for Nevada will start running Tuesday. They're called "New Beginning " and can be viewed here.

The 60-second spot shows Clinton in a broad brush stroke, with the former first lady talking about "new beginnings" needed in health care, education and foreign policy. Most of it is Clinton giving speeches.

Sen. Barack Obama on Friday became the first presidential candidate to announce a TV media buy in Nevada.

Both Obama's and Clinton's ads have run elsewhere, and are not specific to Nevada.

Clinton state campaign spokeswoman Hilarie Grey said today's announcement was "absolutely not" a response to Obama's television buy. "It has been in our plan to go up on the air this week for quite some time," she said.

Grey wouldn't say when the ads were bought, how long the campaign had been planning to run the ads nor how long they would run. Clintons ad will be on network and cable television in both the north and south of the state.

Howard Wolfson, the campaign's national communications director who announced the TV spot today, also also addressed the Las Vegas Review-Journal's poll, published Sunday, that showed Clinton with an 8 point lead over Obama, dramatically less than in previous polls.

"There will be an awful lot of polls, coming fast and furious over the next month and a half," Wolfson said. "We believe this (poll) is an outlier, not consistent what we've seen in our polls, and not consistent with what other polls have shown."
