Time For New Slogans
So ... after large victories in West Virginia and Kentucky we hear that Hillary does better with "older, white and blue-collar" voters than Obama? That's what CNN says. She also does better with people who are not college educated (what a surprise).
I think this is interesting for one reason: as a collectivist / socialist, she's made a career out of pandering to group identity politics. You'll never hear Hillary utter words like "individual" or "self reliance" unless she's describing the enemy. She's all about group identity and communal "rights" (i.e. 51% of the population can gouge the other 49% at will ... and screw the Constitution). Besides, she was supposed to be the anointed persecuted minority group candidate this year, and this upstart member of another officially sanctioned minority group had the audacity to not only run for the Democratic nomination, but he's actually beating her in the process. Things are tough in group identity land.
Being a Clinton, I have no doubt that she's completely comfortable with the fact that she's the clear choice among the people she'd normally distance herself from: racist peckerwoods, reactionary old farts, and beer-swillin' blue collar types who go to church and mean it. But being a Clinton also means being about power for the sake of power. To this end, I'd like to offer some potential slogans for Hillary to use in the coming weeks that may help her reach out to this new source of votes:
So go get'em Hillary -- ever forward on to Democratic National Convention and beyond!
Afterthought:
Needless to say, I can't wait to see how this all plays out in the next month. The American-Idol-Watching, literacy-eschewing, knee-jerk-deciding, magic-man-in-the-sky-worshipping dumbmasses in this country will roll the dice and vote for their favorite statist to run the Imperial Federal Government. And I have no doubt that they'll get the government they deserve.

- Hillary 2008: At Least She's Not A N****r!
- Hillary 2008: Fre Edjukashun & Helth Kare Fer Awl!
- Hillary 2008: I'm Old -- Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie!
- Hillary 2008: She May Not Have A Pecker, But Close Enough!
- Hillary 2008: She's Found Jesus .... Again!
- Feminists for Hillary: Vote For Her Or You Hate Women!
So go get'em Hillary -- ever forward on to Democratic National Convention and beyond!
