In the days before Super Tuesday, campaign strategy gets
complicated
.Apparently Hillary’s plan, at least in part, is to make a bunch of really weirdvideos.
The first is an ad called ”
Freefall
,” the main visualmotif of which is a body hurtling through the sky. If Rudy Giuliani had doneit, people would be accusing him of exploiting 9/11 imagery. That might be astretch in Hillary’s case, but it’s still slightly discomfiting, even as ametaphor for the economy.
The campaign has also posted a VH1
Behind the Music
spoof called ”
Hillary and the Band
,”presumably aimed at college kids. The joke: Hillary was once in a band, but shequit to run for president. The acting isn’t bad, and it could have worked asa straight-faced parody. But then they go and undermine the premise: “Okay. MaybeHillary doesn’t shred. But she will: Make College Affordable. FightGlobal Warming. End the War.” As usual, it was fun until the message part.
