If she loses this election it won't be for lack of trying. I hope and pray that she wins. I am impressed by her campaign strategy. Every week she comes up with a new angle. She does not leave time for her message to get stale.

She knows how to throw a change up. And it is smart to do media events that appeal to different demographics. She might do one event aimed at women, another at black men, another at non college educated white men (the Howard Stern demo?).

So if someone did not see her in one media outlet, they might see her in another. I am sure that the Stern audience is different from the View's demographics. Anyway I think that she is running a very smart and surgical campaign. Hopefully it will be enough for a win, and hopefully a decisive one.

As you said, she's covered all possible demographics, reaching out to every possible voting group. I know that there was criticism in the beginning that not enough voters "knew" her, so she's reached out to voters across the board. And not only that, her schedule has to be exhausting, but given the record crowds she's been attracting, it seems to be working.

And I also agree that she's changing up her message depending on the group and the location, addressing the concerns of the demographic she's addressing. It's got to ne exhausting, but she remains focused and upbeat - and not without humor. It does seem to be working, the crowds remain enthusiastic - and now that she's got pretty amazing surrogates spreading the message - she couldn't do better than Presidents Obama and Clinton, both gifted speakers, and they sure attract the crowds as well.

Like everyone else, I have no idea how this election is going to turn out, but then it's totally beyond me that anyone who's paying attention could possibly vote against a former prosecutor, senator and vice president in favor of a convicted felon who tried to overturn the government.
