Humorous - If Hillary can cry to motivate the women's vote, what can Obama do today
to appeal to his base (African Americans, young voters, independents, liberals, men, whatever other demographic he particularly appeals to)?

I have no idea whether Hillary just gets exhausted right before primaries from all the campaigning, the timing is just coincidence because of the nature of the event or question she is asked, she's never cried and never will, or it's all political theater. Regardless of any of this, Obama supporters need a forum to share ideas for a counter strategy (even if they are countering "nothing" that "nothing" is out there and has become "something").

Let's keep it tasteful and humorous.

14. I suspect his supporters think he is sincere and his opponents think otherwise.
Besides it's difficult to look any politician in the eye and tell them to "Just be sincere." They will wait for the punchline to the joke. ;)

17. You're thinking big picture campaign strategy. We've got plenty of posts to respond to
if you want to go there.

I was looking for something he could do that would humorously use some aspect of his being a man and an African American or some stereotype of a demographic group that he particularly appeals to.

18. Nothing appeals to men
like riding around in a tank. It's a great photo op guaranteed to put to rest any whisper campaigns about wussiness.

22. That's a great idea. It's a shame that no Democratic nominee has ever
tried that before. Very manly and tough on terrorism kind of a gesture. ;)

... of basketball with some middle aged white guys who drive Volvos, and put the video of it on youtube, with links to myspace and facebook.

Hope this helps.
