Should she stay or should she go has been the hue and cry. Will she or won’t she? Perhaps only her hairdresser knows for sure.
Of course the Media Moment du jour involves presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton, guilty of being a hairdo flip-flopper in the Clinton presidential nineties. But this time her mind is made up, no matter how many other politicos are getting face time on broadcast networks and in headline making print and internet stories, she’s in the race until the end.
The fact of the matter is, the Obama campaign is advancing his story, by advancing the ‘it’s time to go Hillary’ mantra. He is looking benevolent when he encourages her to stay in the race, despite other senators calling for her to leave for the good of the Democratic Party. Chapter 2 was begun Tuesday morning with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi seemingly backing away from code phrases suggesting she endorsed the Obama view of super delegates when questioned by Robin Roberts on Good Morning America.
These very smart PR campaign tactics take the interest away from religious affiliations and their leaders and put the onus squarely on Hillary, the presumptive spoiler of the Democratic Party.
The question remains, as with all Media/PR stories, what effect will it have on readers and listeners? In this case the Primary Polls, rather than the Nielsens, will give the overnights.
