A Campaign Retools to Seek Second Clinton Comeback
NY TIMES ^ | 1-5-07 | HEALY and BRODER

MANCHESTER, N.H. — Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton have been in career-threatening scrapes before, but never quite like the one they face in the New Hampshire primary on Tuesday, when nothing less than their would-be dynasty will be on the line.

In trying to battle back from her loss in the Iowa caucuses to Senator Barack Obama of Illinois, Mrs. Clinton is recalibrating her message in hopes of producing Comeback Kid: The Sequel — achieving the reversal of fortune her husband pulled off with his second-place finish here in the Democratic nomination contest in 1992.

Mrs. Clinton, after arriving here at 4 a.m. Friday, used a rally in Nashua to begin focusing on young voters and independents, two groups that flocked to the Obama banner in Iowa. She said she wanted to appeal to young people, and surrounded herself with them at the rally, in contrast to her caucus night party where older, familiar faces from the Clinton administration and her political team stood out.

This is interesting. When I looked at this photo on the NY TIMES site, I did not see that disturbing image on the window.

achieving the reversal of fortune her husband pulled off with his second-place finish here in the Democratic nomination contest in 1992.

The DBMs keep trying to compare this campaign with BillyJeff's from the 90s.

Sorry, it can't be done. Different people, different time, different climate.

I'm beginning to believe Senator Clinton's minions and handlers don't understand these fundamental changes either.

So is Hillary now promising a young “Hip” administration like her husband did?
Great.

One longtime adviser complained that the campaign’s senior strategist, Mark Penn, realized too late that “change” was a much more powerful message than “experience.”

The political strategy of the Clintons has always been--"Let's do extensive polling, figure out what the people want, and make believe that's who we are."

It reminds me of the old joke--the Jewish tailor is fitting a guy for a suit. The guy likes the suit, but wants it in green. The tailor says, "You want a green suit, we'll turn on the green light."

Methinks the Clintons have "turned on the green light" once too often. Mehopes.

Hillary only knows one way. Scorch and burn. She may end up damaging both Edwards and Obama to the point that it won’t matter who the Dems nominate. The campaigns for the general election will be dead man walking.

From another blog:

Hillary said “look at my experience” and they did.

Her allies, including Gen. Wesley K. Clark and former Representative Richard A. Gephardt of Missouri, are also fanning out in New Hampshire.

Yep, when you want to get young people energized about your candidacy you unleash Dick Gephardt. That always works.

By the way, anyone knows what happened to the FReeper “Hillary’s Lovely Legs”? Seems a while since I’ve seen a post from HLL, although this is great timing for the moniker.

She turned 60 on Oct. 26. I celebrated by showing HILLARY! UNCENSORED at Harvard. She was invited via fax to her office, but the witch went to Rob Reiner's party for her instead.
