According to a fundraising pitch that I received in my email this morning, I am Hillary Clinton’s “secret weapon”:
Dear Matthew, You’re my secret weapon. All the other campaigns are busy talking about me. But with your support, I’m staying focused on what’s important in this race. I never forget what we’re working for when I’m out on the campaign trail. That’s why I’d like one of you to join me for a day. I’m so proud of what you and I have accomplished, and every day I see the results. More and more people are joining our campaign for change, and what you and I do in the coming weeks will make the difference in this election. So I want to invite one of you and a guest to join me for a day to see what we’re building together. With just a few weeks until the first caucuses and primaries, there’s no more exciting time than now. There’s also no better time to help. Will you help me win these first few primaries and caucuses by contributing today? You could join me out on the campaign trail. We’ll take a few minutes to grab a sandwich and talk.
Unfortunately, I am booked up over the next few weeks. I won’t be able to “grab a sandwich and talk” with Clinton, as much as I’d like to do so. I wonder what kind of sandwich Clinton prefers, actually. Tuna on Rye? Ham and cheese? Toasted or untoasted? There a lot of options – for example, if she went with turkey on whole wheat, wouldn’t she offend the pastrami community? And where would that leave her?
