For whatever reason, nobody liked my “Free Hillary” campaign slogan. My alternative was “Let Hillary Be Hillary” but even that catchy phrase was panned by everyone except Patti Doyle. She agrees with me on everything.
Mark Penn hired some ad agency types who deal in political campaigns. They came up with a new slogan. Even Bill likes it.
The Hillary I Know.
The deal is simple. We’ll get a bunch of people who claim to know me and they’ll go on camera to tell everyone that they know the real me. They’ll say things like, “Hillary is warm and caring,” and use phrases like, “She’s a regular mom, just like me.”
Other supporters will come on camera and say things like, “Instead of being a millionaire lawyer… Hillary went to work for the Children’s Defense Fund to help kids.” I didn’t even know I did that.
I had a chance to talk with ordinary folks in Iowa yesterday. We had a film crew recording the whole conversation, where I said, “Here in Iowa I want you to have some flavor of who I am outside of the television cameras, when all the cameras and lights disappear– what I do when nobody is listening or taking notes or recording it.”
But of course they’re recording it anyway so we can use the clips in television commercials.
Anyway, this “The Hillary I Know” ad campaign looks like the real thing and might have some legs. If it doesn’t do the job in Iowa or New Hampshire, then Mark and Patti are toast.
I’ll be the Hillary they used to know.
