Would we call her President Hillary????

[Avalux]

She isn't called Senator Hillary.

So why does everyone call her by her first name and why does her campaign paste HILLARY all over their paraphernalia? Do they not want people to get confused, or are they trying to confuse people? :shrug:

And then what would happen if she snatches the nomination from Obama and picked, say, Evan Bayh to be her running mate? Would all the bumper stickers say
Hillary/Bayh 08?

To my recollection, there has never been a woman politician who has campaigned on her first name only.

Maybe a Hillary supporter could explain this strange phenomenon to me.

1. President Hillary Clinton

Has a nice ring to it.

[azmouse]

2. We won't be calling her anything but loser.

[murray hill farm]

5. or....maybe

poor loser.

[Avalux]

7. True that. Post a hypothetical only.

:hi:

[Liberal Veteran]

3. She will settle for addressing Her as "Your Majesty".

....as long as you genuflect appropriately while saying it.

[Yael]

4. I believe the debt collectors are referring to her as Mrs. Clinton

Is anyone else calling?

[Liberal Veteran]

6. I'm pretty sure they are calling her "that deadbeat" when the phone is muted.

[Avalux]

8. And "just like her brother".

;-)

21. Which will turn into "defendent" Hillary Clinton

when they take her ass to court for unpaid bills.

[Vinca]

9. Madame President. It would sound better if it was Barbara Boxer. nt

[Avalux]

10. But what about the bumperstickers?

You know - Clinton/Gore, Gore/Leiberman, Kerry/Edwards...... :crazy:

[Vinca]

13. We won't have to worry about it. NT

[proud2BlibKansan]

11. I kind of like that bumper sticker

But I would spell it differently: HILLARY - BYE!!

[Avalux]

12. Ha ha - good one.

I like that too! :hi:

[billyoc]

14. Fox News consultant, former Senator Hillary Clinton. nt

[lisa58]

15. No, just Senator Clinton

[crankychatter]

16. It's a deliberate ploy to capitalize on her womanhood for political gain

To humanize and make her the "kinder gentler" fucking blitzkrieg. To disassociate her from her husband's negatives. All PR, All spin, ALL the time.

She is Clinton to me.

She is not even Senator Clinton... except as necessary.

To distinguish her from the former President in a paragraph... "Hillary," sometimes ... but that's probably when I should use "Senator Clinton," not her first name.

I've been doing this for months.

I don't know why people insist on the first name thing. We're electing a President, not Office Admin. It's unprofessional and part of the PR.

We should never let them frame the discussion for us... or dictate the terminology.

[MethuenProgressive]

17. Do you have a link to the RW site you lifted this from?

Just to be fair and balanced.

[TahitiNut]

18. The Goddess of Peace prefers "Your Goddessship"

[rainbow4321]

19. She will be "Former Democratic Presidential Primary Candidate Hillary"

And I hope the media dedicates a camera just for her...as she is sitting in the audience listening to President Obama's inauguration speech. Maybe they can seat her right next to Sen. McCain so we can watch the two of them consoling each other.

[FrenchieCat]

20. She will be called Senator Hillary Clinton if America is a wiser nation

than it was in 2000 and 2004. I think Barack will be an awesome President.

[rainbow4321]

23. And (hopefully) former Senator Hillary thanks to embarrassed New Yorkers. n/t

[Moochy]

22. She is called Hillary to disambiguate her from Bill

I know many think it's some vast right wing ("liberal media"?) conspiracy...
