Jonah, Unless I heard Hillary wrong she said she saw “I’m A Health Care Voter” stickers, not “bumper stickers.” I bet she has, as Americans for Health Care has been handing out lapel stickers with that slogan all over New Hampshire, getting candidates to wear them. I was in New Hampshire a couple months back and saw plenty of them. www.americansforhealthcare.org
Me: I could have sworn she said “bumper stickers” but I could be wrong. I can’t claim to have been riveted. Transcript will be out in the morning. In the meantime, saying she sees such stickers everywhere is still Pauline Kae-esque. I know from Iain Murray there’s a saying in Britain, something to the effect of “the Queen thinks all of England smells like fresh paint.” If she’s seeing “I’m a healthcare voter” stickers everywhere it’s because, as Dave says, she’s hanging out with activists. She referred to the stickers to talk about a groundswell in middle America. There may be one. But those stickers are evidence of it.
