A West Virginia Hillary-mobile!

AP: Grechen Baer's Hillary-mobile makes an appearance as former President Bill Clinton campaigns for his wife, Democratic presidential hopeful, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., at a Solutions for America rally in Fayetteville, W.Va. Thursday, May 8, 2008.

1. Oh, I love it!!!

I wonder what the top of the car looks like? Are they campaign buttons?

Great use of dominoes and bottlecaps!

Very cool indeed.

2. Woo-hoo! Check these out, gizmonic!

A short video I made of pics I took of the Hillcar when it visited Charleston, WV, last Thursday:

3. Another GLARING error: it's not a 'West Va' Hill-mobile. The artist who created it is from AZ,

- and takes the Hillcar to as many Hillary and Bill events as she can manage. It just happens to be in WV right now, where the Clintons are campaigning.

Gawd, who are these people who pass on such ignominiously inaccurate basic facts on to Drudge???

4. I apologize -- I didn't know the background, so part of the inaccuracy is on my part.

I saw the item on Drudge, but took the photo and info from the original AP. Apparently, AP did not have the accurate name of the artist. And, again I apologize -- I called it a West Virginia mobile because I didn't know the background, and wrongly assumed it had been done there.

Thanks so much for the background, and your additional artistry. This is an awesome project!

5. Thanks for your compliments, DMM. Sorry - I just assumed the heading

was Drudge's, too - which is not unusual in being inaccurate! The name was wrong in the original piece by Drudge, that's for sure!

I do thank you for posting it here and calling attention to it. I guess I was just in a sore mood earlier. :hi:

It's Gretchen Baer who should get the kudos - I really bow down before her for doing this. Now, THAT is genuine love and admiration for a candidate writ large!

Thanks again for posting it here, DMM. My apologies for my snarky tone, not directed at you, but at Drudge (who deserves it, anyway - hee.)

6. Not to worry, libbygurl -- Drudge raises my blood pressure on a regular basis!

7. Well, It Looks VERY Finster-Inspired

And may as well be Georgia for that.
