Secret McCain Campaign Slogan Memo Leaked
Source: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/


Here is the link to the article with the picture of the mentioned note:

http://www.236.com/blog/w/lee_camp/secret_mccain_campaign_slogan_6333.php


With McCain likely to face Obama in the general election, it appears his staff has realized they have an uphill marketing battle ahead of them. Obama has some of the best marketing money can buy. He has a brilliant logo, multiple slogans, a pretty face, and he's even laid claim to the words "change" and "hope." The following memo by a high level McCain staffer was accidentally leaked to the press. It shows the McCain campaign's struggle to find the perfect slogan.

That's a line from a wizened Wyoming legislator (represents Jackson Hole, can't remember her name).

16. A vote for McCain...A vote for Staying the course!
If it ain't broke, why change it?
If it is broke, why admit it?
If people see it's broke, deny it!
If none of the above works, lie about it!

"Stay the course, back the OLD HORSE!"

Change, who needs change?
Hope is for dopes!

Vote GOP, the party that is utterly hopeless!

27. John McCain tells a story
John McCain was sitting in a restaurant on the campaign trail, when a teen-age boy came up to him and said "Senator McCain. I really admire you. I want to be a fighter pilot when I graduate. Tell me about how you got shot down."

"Well," said McCain, "I was flying over Hanoi and had just dropped a load of bombs, when I saw a surface to air missile coming at me. I tried to outmaneuver it, but it just kept coming. Finally, as I banked into a steep turn, trying to dive out of the way, KA-BAAM, the missile hit me and tore the wing off my plane. I...I....I think I crapped my pants."

"I don't blame you," said the boy. "If a missile tore the wing off my plane, I'd probably crap my pants too."

"No, no, not then," said McCain, "just now when I yelled KA-BAAM!"
