EMILY’s List recently launched a website called You Go Girl! to convince Iowa women that “Caucusing can be fun!” – and to caucus for Hillary Clinton while they’re at it. The website features a step-by-step guide to caucusing, along with information about Hillary, video testimonials (from women just like you!), and simple, sugar-coated language to entice women who may have no interest in politics whatsoever. As you roll over turquoise, Iowa-shaped buttons, you begin to think the Spice Girls will pop out any second to tell you what they really, really want. The website even warns, “Don’t caucus on an empty stomach …” and provides handy casserole recipes to share with your fellow caucus newbies. The best feature, however, is “10 Great Reasons to Support Hillary,” which the website suggests you print and take with you to the caucus. But it seems EMILY’s List could only come up with nine “great reasons,” since number 10 says, “Her husband’s great, too!” If that doesn’t convince you to vote for Hillary, well, I guess nothing will.
