Near where I grew up in Ohio there was a town called Hamilton. Fair or not,
Hamilton was a town that was not known for much. Or rather, it was that town
you were kinda glad you weren’t from. The was even a sign in the style of
the Hollywood sign along the banks of a river that cut through the town that
was something of a local joke. Back in 1986, the powers that be decided
they needed something to make Hamilton special. Their big decision? They
changed the name to Hamilton!, OH. It was so absurd that Rand MacNally
refused to put the exclamation point on their maps. To everyone else it was
just a sign that the Hamilton city council was out of ideas.
Apparently, earlier this week, the Obama campaign changed the official
slogan from FORWARD to FORWARD! No, I’m not kidding. Just how did that
conversation go?
“Man that Romney campaign sure is kicking our butt right now.”
“What can we do? Anyone?”
“I know. Let’s add an exclamation point to ‘forward’. That will fix
everything.”
I think the next step is pretty clear. Romney is now forced to change his
slogan to Believe in America! Forget focusing on fixes for the economy.
Forget foreign policy discussions. Without the exclamation point, his
campaign is clearly doomed.
The Obama campaign is officially out of ideas. |
