Mrs. Clinton’s Non Acknowledgement of Mr. Clinton Last Night


January 4th, 2008 by Sterling Hager


I meant to write this earlier today. It's off topic, sorry. I was watching the speeches of the candidates last night from Iowa after the returns came in and was struck by Mrs. Clinton's apparent indifference to Mr. Clinton standing behind her on the stage. Throughout all my many years, during which men dominated the national political scene, it seems to me in most cases the men acknowleged their wives. Must be a guy thing?

Come to think of it, I watched Mr. Huckabee's speech, too and don't recall a Mrs. Huckabee. Mr. Edwards let Mrs. Edwards lead off. I guess the times are changing… maybe… sort of?

I'm apolitical by the way. I just watch and listen to learn more about marketing and positioning and taglines. I liked Mr. Edwards' line this morning in New Hampshire. He said something like, "The status quo is yesterday. Change is tomorrow. Tomorrow starts today." Kind of clever for a politician. I bet they worked on that on the plane the whole way, don't you?

Remember: On election day, vote early and vote often.
