Wampum

Sometime yesterday evening, in Iowa, probably after her speech, which wasn't too bad. Photo credited to AP/Charlie Neibergall, who it looks like he worked for the effect.

I've no idea why the AP photographer wanted to achieve this effect, but using Senator Clinton's hanger event on getting to New Hampshire from Iowa, this is what s/he got. via Le Soir. Last year all-around-stinker and former Sherrod Brown communications director Philip de Vellis ran one of these in the stolen-ideas-and-execution-from-Apple in YouTube form, while working for Blue State Digital, then an Obama shop. Same dumb idea, different stolen execution.

The junior Senator from New York is no friend of New York tribal governments, or their land claims, and while there are problems in the tribal governments there, just as there are in Oklahoma, the correct response from a leading federal legislator is not an un-nuanced "No!"

There are good policy reasons to hope for someone other than Senator Clinton, but not because of some dubmssa visual cliché.
