ADVICE from Bill Clinton: sounds good to me:



1. Don’t make this about you.

(don't make it all about biography...voters care about their lives....show them how you'll improve theirs, and use visuals)


2. Define yourself through policies — yours and theirs.

(explain policy proposals in simple terms, and get some catchy slogans)


3. Have more fun.

(destroy them with a smile...don't look rattled)


4.Make the election about something big.

(tie all into a global, large scale transformative idea)


5. Spend more time speaking to your opponents.

(don't assume folks see it like we do...adopt their premises, but shock them with your dem conclusion)

6. Don’t take Hillary voters for granted.


7. Stop smoking whatever it is you are smoking.

(lose the blase, super cool demeanor, get passionate and start taking sleezy politics seriously)

1. This isn't advice from Bill Clinton--it's advice from some writer hack who wants

to take some shots at Obama under the guise of advice from Bill Clinton.

3. guess

you're right

but a lot of the advice sounds excellent

(and it's what we need to do)

e.g. rethugs and undecideds are prolly not reading the NY Times

we've got to reach them on their terms, their level

2. destroy McCain, with a smile n/t
