By

  • Brownback – no slogan found

  • Clinton – “Make history!”; also “Let the Conversation Begin”.

    clever fundraising name: Hillraisers

  • Edwards – “Tomorrow Begins Today”

    Operative slogan: “I’m just not there yet”

    bad fundraising name: One Corps; it invokes “Army of One” and dead things.

  • Giuliani – “Proven Leadership”

  • Kucinich – no slogan found

  • McCain – “Straight Talk Express”; “Common Sense Conservatism”

  • Obama – “Together We Can”

  • Richardson – no slogan found

    detractors’ favorite: “Multiple Choice Mitt”

    1. Sam Brownback:
      Forward to the past
      A gun on every belt

      Bill Richardson:
      What’s wrong with boring?
      Elect a Democratic president (he doesn’t seem to care if it’s him)
      Preserving the Union
      The Enlightened One
      The Myspace president

      Dennis Kucinich:
      Make peace, not war
      The man from Cleveland
      Imagine the possibilities
      Vegan for President!
      A vegetable in every pot
      If you think my website’s a mess, wait till you see what I do for the country!

      Mitt Romney (I like how his biography begins in 2002):
      Let’s flip this flop
      A Rambler in every garage
      Romney to the rescue
      Mission Mitt

      <

      And my goodness, who knew he. . .

      got his first name from J. Willard Marriott, the hotel magnate and a friend of his father’s. The middle name – the catchy one – comes from a relative who played for the Chicago Bears in the 1920s.

    2. Did you see Jon Stewart’s joke about Clinton’s slogan?  She is indeed targeting it to women, as your link makes clear.  His joke was that when men hear  “let the conversation begin” they’ll say “now??” and that her Iraq strategy is “Let’s pull over and ask for directions.”

      My guess is that slogan has a planned retirement date.
