Oh, the media is going to hate this! It’s not presidential!! She should be spending $7M on some complex, unwieldy, entourage-laden juggernaut that will disrupt cities whenever she visits. Then the media can complain about how profligate and self-centered she is. No, no .. this cost-effective and down-to-earth type of campaigning is not going to sit well with the media at all.
Their heartburn is not just her frugality, but that she didn't go to Rove, Krutee, and Kristol for advice and hire their hack and lacky consultants friends to tell her what blazer and skirt to wear and what to say., etc etc.
Their gravy train is over, that is what the Tea Parties are all about IMHO. Sucks to be them....
