Picture of the Day - 2
Did anyone else notice the signs? Carefully different from the campaign signs, but still with the website for that last minute fundraising.

Wow. Good catch. I'm sure this was a "product placement" negotiated by the Hillary team. I assume her campaign is still in debt?
Still, it's interesting that the Clintons are framed (or frame themselves) not so much of the party, but a separate, special species above the party. As if they were Grecian gods come down from Olympus to mingle in the affairs of mortals... But duty must be paid.

I agree. I assume the agreement was, nothing that looks like capaign signs, but you can put the website out there.
They're trying to accomplish two things. 1) They want to be blameless if Obama loses, and 2) They want to be credited as kingmakers if he wins.
That's the dual game. (And notice whether or not Obama is elected is secondary. I'm sure they'd prefer him to McCain, but....)
