Hillary for America vs. America for Hillary

In 2004 Howard Dean received criticism for naming his campaign "Dean for America." There were people that felt that Dean for America meant that Dean put himself ahead of the voters. People felt that his campaign should be called America/Americans for Dean. Hillary went the "Hillary for America" route. I wonder if there will be any blowback. Considering there is scrutiny of everything she does, it's probably already happened.

But, whether it was Dean for America or not, it didn't make a hill of beans to me.
I would have voted for him if he would have become the nominee in any case.

Came across this on ebay, while checking the "store" of someone who was offering something else I wanted.

I found it interesting. Some Hillary fans may get a kick out of it.

Hmmm. If anyone here decides to buy it, I'm contacting the seller for a piece of that $6.95!
