Hillary's Campaign is Like the Blue Plate Special
Blue-plate special is a term used by restaurants.

It refers to a specially-low-priced meal, usually changing daily.

Sounds like Hillary's campaign. It changes daily and doesn't offer anything memorable or healthy.

3. I'm sure it's from advisers who read the polls
Edited on Sun Feb-24-08 09:42 AM by DaveTheWave
And then tell her what to say. I've watched Hillary for many years and respect her a lot. She's a smart woman that I think would make great decisions and run the country very well however her message is not getting out as she concentrates more efforts on the opinion polls and saying bad things about the guy everybody likes.

If she would just be herself, like she was before the primaries, she would be the nominee in my opinion. Last year I was sure she had it in the bag.

5. She's lost and is getting terrible advice
Carville and Penn have turned her into a parody.

9. If she had the same health plan that she wanted before
Edited on Sun Feb-24-08 09:48 AM by DaveTheWave
Single payer, government health care for every American she'd be winning but she chose to fine people for not buying something broken instead to appease and get republican support and voters who have been taught to fear single payer government health care. Look at her plan and republican Mitt Romney's disastrous plan in Massachusetts. Almost identical huh?

4. This is how the casinos here in Elko do it.
If they have too much of something in the restaurant and it's about to spoil, they put it on the blue plate special to get rid of it.

That kind of reminds me of the Clinton campaign. The people aren't buying it but they are trying to pass it off on us anyyway.

10. There comes a time where you have to pick a strategy and commit.
and that time has way passed for Hillary.

Too many advisors. Though I'm sure they're all very good at what they do, it makes her appear out of step. She's testing new slogans & narratives every week. Her campaign should've been way beyond the experimental stage by now. And now she's just thowing a bunch of stuff out there to see what sticks. Nothing's sticking, and nothing will at this point. I think it's too late.

11. Blue Plate Specials are AFFORDABLE
$130 million spent BEFORE Iowa Caucuses

$7.6 million in debt (staff/taxes/insurance not paid)

$5 million loan (with interest) by the candidate

Not very affordable x(

15. The inevitable one?
Coached for Drama? Politcal Blue Blood Special?

17. Unlike that overpriced crap you find at the swanky restaurants
Sure it looks nice, but there's no real substance and it doesn't satisfy you.
