The Hillary Clinton Reboot: Both Off the Cuff and Meticulously Planned







Did you hear the one about the presidential candidate who walks into a Chipotle restaurant in Ohio? She orders a burrito bowl and makes headlines worldwide.

If you did not get the joke, you might not be a student of Hillary Rodham Clinton, perhaps one of the most overly cautious and controlled politicians of the modern era.

...


Whether Mrs. Clinton can continue to surprise when the events become larger and the klieg lights grow hotter is an open question. “The style of campaigning and message will be tested over time, but the tone and humility of the launch has been very much what she needed to do,” said David Axelrod, a longtime adviser to Mr. Obama and an architect of his presidential campaigns.

For some reason, that stunt reminded me of Oprah and Gayle giggling because they had no idea how to pump gas into their car.
