2. It Would Be Humorous...
... and it would put him - and the rest of the GOP field - on the defensive.

4. I like the cut of your jib.
Take it to the fuckers instead of them taking it to us! :thumbsup:

7. Think of the Free Media Coverage...
... too. They'd eat it up (especially the ones who are bored with the same old, same old - the repeated stump speech gets old after a while when you're embedded with a campaign).

33. female, here--I like it, but a lot of women won't
Edited on Thu Nov-15-07 10:04 AM by librechik
it's a slippery slope. There's also the "bad word" factor, which will cause a commotion among the Christianists (why they don't nail McCain on it--I think we know)

not to mention the shameless Republican propagandists who will twist it against her, somehow.

5. That would definitely make points with me
Instead of not voting for her in a million years, I'd not vote for her in 100,000 years. :evilgrin:

10. "Don't worry John. You're not going to beat anyone--bitch or otherwise."
That's my line suggestion.

12. I like it,
Even though I don't care that much for Mrs Clinton, McCain could have handled that better, if he wasn't an brain dead evil fuck to begin with.

Perhaps he could have had the tape classified until after the election. :sarcasm:

13. Actually, I think this would be a great move for Hillary!
She is gonna be painted the bitch anyhow, if she reverses her downward slide and eakes out the nomination. So, to taking the title to herself with a little self-depracation? That would be a dynamite move!

Calling herself a bitch in a laughing way would defuse the entire meme! A real bitch wouldn't do that.

Should be Hillary's campaign theme song. Maybe she could actually win if she used it. Miracles do happen once in a millenium.

14. She Could Run a Video with Elizabeth I, Thatcher, and Other...
Edited on Wed Nov-14-07 08:59 PM by CorpGovActivist
... strong, confident women who have led their nations/people.

On edit: I mean, if she were to adopt it, and if she were to win the nomination, her campaign could develop such a video to negate the "weak woman" meme, and/or embrace the strong, confident leader meme.

15. That was the first thing I thought of!
Then I thought, naw, she'll never say it. "I'm your girl" is the best she can do.

18. That's what she should do
but she can't seem to make up her mind as to whether she is a Maggie Thatcher type or a Liddy Dole type, she wants it both ways.

34. Nobody Is As Programmed as Liddy
I'll give you that HRC is a bit stiff and stage managed, but I think there are at least a couple of orders of magnitude between anyone and Liddy Dole.

31. I love it, someone needs to send this to her campaign. She's got some
very sharp, sense of humor endowed people on her team. It would be sooooo funny.
