It is strongly recommended that you include your outline in the body of your essay by using the outline as section titles. The headings below are there to remind you how section and subsection titles are formatted. | | | Hillary Clinton – like all successful politicians – has developed a set of slogans, campaign tag-lines, and sound bites designed to broaden her appeal. She makes both an “experience” argument (“Ready on Day One”) and a “change” argument (“Working for Change; Working for You”). | |
<
< | The slogans bring different groups into her camp. “Change” highlights her future status as the first women president and reminds us that she offers a departure from the politics of George Bush, exciting liberals, women and the democratic machine. On the other hand, Hillary’s “Experience” is a major issue for the over 65 crowd and working class white male voters: the conservative wing of the Democratic party. | >

< | Unlike the “change” argument, her “experience” argument is less straight forward. Hillary is, in fact, a woman who often disagrees with the current administration. She is a representative of change. However, the experience she boasts of fails to live up to the rhetoric. Instead, she is speaking in code to working class white men and senior citizens in an attempt to assure them that the traditional world they know is not going anywhere. It is a conservative argument designed to prey upon hidden prejudices. In this essay I will attempt to show how that argument works. | >

Instead, she is speaking in code to working class white men and senior citizens in an attempt to reassure them that the traditional world is safe. It is a conservative argument designed to prey upon hidden prejudices. In this essay I will attempt to show how that argument works. | | | | |
