Hill-a-copter v. no-name bus tour
While Hillary Clinton buzzes around Iowa in her “Hill-a-copter” on the “Every County Counts - Working for Change, Working for You” tour, Obama is doing a little barnstorming himself. He’s in the middle of a five-day, 23-city tour through Iowa — all on a nondescript bus on an unnamed bus tour.
Most candidates ride around early voting states in moving billboards - there’s a bright yellow bus somewhere in Iowa with a giant photo of Chris Dodd’s face on it while John Edwards is cruising around on his “Main Street Express” bus, whose fancy paint job reads, “America Belongs to Us” and “John Edwards ‘08″ underneath.
Apparently splashy buses are not Obama’s style. His understated vehicle (seen below) has no graphics, no signs, and no photos. There is one sign, the campaign told me, but it faces inside to provide a backdrop for television interviews conducted on the bus.
“You don’t need a gimmick to win,” a campaign official said. “You just need to talk to voters.”

[...] the chopper, it was a lot of fun — even if the pilot refused to take us up for a quick spin. Gimmick? Maybe… but you’ve got to admit, it’s a pretty good [...]
I have been a democrat for many years, and remeber JFK saying, ask not what your country can do for you, but what can you do for your country. I believe the Clinton’s saying is, don’t ask what I can do for you, but what you need to do for me. I believe the time has come to make changes in our goverment, a time for the goverment to do the job it was intented to do. Maybe it’s the time for a new commere, somone that owes nobody anything. I know Hillary Clinton has may years of experience, because she says she does. She has experience with hate, cheating, angry, lying, back stabing, will not answer a question if she dosen’t like it, trying to disgrace people who don’t agreee with her, letting her husband get away with many affairs, what a marriage. After reviewing Hillary’s experience I feel that She is not moral ethical to represent the people.
In Soviet Amerika, Hillary votes for YOU!!
