Reply #69: running for office and protesting are two separate things [View All]

[Cant trust em]

As an elected official a broad base of information is necessary, so I do agree that she doesn't need a PhD in IR to get that job.

But I feel that as an protester it's best to stick with one issue and ram it home. I think that from a marketing perspective it's easier to bring attention to a single issue than a multitude of issues. Being an anti-war protester for her was perfect. But I felt that without some academic credentials/degrees, it was more difficult for her to pull of the image of a traditional "expert" at least how the MSM and the people who watch it would define the term.

This really wasn't about her being stuck as just a mom. It was more about creating an image that will best attract attention to her issue.
