Hillary Hires Coke Marketing Exec Who Claimed to Be 'Blood Brothers' With Bill
".......The Wall Street Journal confirms that Clark indeed has taken an unpaid leave of absence from Coke. "Coca-Cola Co. North American Marketing Chief Wendy Clark is taking a leave of absence and is expected to advise potential presidential candidate Hillary Clinton , according to people familiar with the matter," the paper writes......
Interestingly, the hiring of a corporate marketing executive is something Hillary has tried before. In her 2000 Senate run from New York, the then-first lady hired a man named Dwight Jewson, who helped make Doritos (and Taco Bell!) popular.
As Michael Tomasky wrote in his book Hillary's Turn: "[Dwight] Jewson is the head of a consulting firm called Strategic Frameworking, based outside Seattle. Strategic Frameworking's clients were, by 2000, mostly corporate--the firm helped the Frito-Lay Corporation figure out how to sell Doritos, developed and introduced Red Wolf Beer, and marketed the Taco Bell Value Menu. But Jewson had a political pedigree. He, like [Mark] Penn, had once worked in New York for David Garth--in fact, he and Penn had worked on campaigns together. One of his areas of concentration over the years had been the emotional and psychological terrain of politics. He had led a study in 1996 about voters' emotional attachments to the parties that examined how the Republicans had won voters over on an emotional level in 1994, and how Clinton had won them back in 1996. His expertise, in other words, was exactly what Hillary's campaign needed."
But the political professionals didn't exactly welcome Jewson in to the fold. It remains to be seen whether Clark's transition from corporate work into politics will be more smooth.

Have a Hillary and smile!
(or you will be shot!)
Wasn't New Coke an admission it was losing the Soda War?
It doesn’t take Freepers long to score a classic post!
My favorite of this thread so far. Flesh out the rest and get a few people to sing it and up to Youtube.
What could go wrong?
Like Coke, Hillary can take the paint right off a car.
The sound of her voice is like fingernails on the chalkboard to me.
ROFLMAO!!!!
New Coke, New Hillary! What difference does it make??
New Hillary? I hope it is a success as ‘NEW COKE’ was. New Coke flopped...
What they’ll try to sell us: “New Hillary”
What we’ll actually get: “Hillary Zero”
LOL
Hillary slogans that won’t cut it:
1. The PIAPS That Refreshes
2. Have a Hillary And a Smile
3. The Cold, Crisp Taste of Hillary
4. Things Go Better With Hillary
5. She’s the Real Thing
"What difference at this point could she make?"
Is this sort of like “Polishing a Turd”? The Mythbusters tried that and failed.
OH!!!
Coca-Cola!
For a minute, there...
“Say hello to my fat-ankled friend!”
We all need to be careful of consuming large, sugary sodas....ahem.
Coke makes me sick to my stomach, just like hillary. The GOP needs someone younger and the juxtiposition with Hillary will be enough to win in a landslide.
