Reminder: buy up as many marked down Christmas ornaments as you can to make Hillary and Sarah ornaments for Iowa
All of the Christmas ornaments will go on sale today — reaching 75% at some point.
We buy up as many of the round red and blue bulbs as we can find — really, any color will do but we think the red and blue look the nicest for political purposes.
Then, we find nice pictures we like of Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin and print them off the computer, using our finest decoupage skills to make little Hillary and Sarah Christmas ornaments.
We started doing this in 2007 when we went to Iowa for the first time and campaigned for Hillary Clinton in the primaries. In our hotel room, while we were watching all the biased coverage the MSM provided, pushing Dr. Utopia and Mike Huckabee to win in their respective fields, we made dozens of Hillary ornaments that we handed out to families we met while canvassing in Waterloo, Des Moines, Clinton, Dubuque, you name it. People really enjoyed receiving them, and almost every person we gave one to immediately walked over to the tree in the living room and hung the ornament with pride in a prominent position.
We’d bet more than a few of those ornaments are on trees again this year.
Palin supporters, in particular, should pay particular attention to this posting — there is now under two years until campaigning will start in Iowa. More likely than not, Palin will declare her candidacy in early 2011…and we do not want to see her make the mistake Hillary Clinton made and wait too long to start working Iowa. As much as we hate this reality: because of the nature of the nominating contests, Iowa is everything. If Palin wins there, she’ll win New Hampshire and South Carolina right after that, and become the nominee.
On a grassroots level, just imagine what we could accomplish if we started prep work for her campaign now, and had two years of crafting time to make as many little goodies like Christmas ornaments as we could, so that we could hit the ground running in Iowa early, blowing Mitt Romney, John Thune, Charlie Crist, Bobby Jindal, or whomever else the MSM tries to run against Palin right out of the water.
We’re going to buy up as many ornaments as we can here in Chicago and will start crafting for Palin. We’ll even make trips into Iowa in November/December 2010 to start passing these out, using our old Hillary Clinton campaign lists of moderate Democrats to canvass for Palin in Iowa. Good thing we saved all those names and addresses from 2008; some of those people will have moved, obviously, but 70% of the lists should be good.
Our job will be, as always, to encourage moderate Dems and independents to defy the DNC and deny Dr. Utopia a second term. Conservatives have the job of getting your own members off their lazy, lazy butts and actually making it to the polls to vote this time. Dr. Utopia’s presidency is all their fault, in our opinion, because they decided to sit 2008 out.
As of the new year, we have just two years to make sure that does not happen again.
Together we can do it, but we have to start now…and starting with Christmas ornaments seems as good a place to start as any.
