| The "black helicopter" crowd will love this one |

| James S. Robbins, "The Corner" @ National Review Interesting article from U.S. News here discussing when Michael Whouley convinced John Kerry to tour Iowa in a helicopter (the "Kerry-copter") and saved his flagging campaign. Now Whouley is working for Hillary, and she's going to campaign in a helicopter. Is that all it takes? It's nothing new. LBJ used a helicopter, dubbed the "Johnson City Windmill" to spur his come from behind Senate win in 1948. He was copying New Jersey Republican Senator H. Alexander Smith who had used a campaign helicopter successfully in 1946. In the case of the "Hillacopter" I hear they are going to come in low into each town with loudspeakers blaring the "Ride of the Valkyries" . . . If the Hillacopter encounters the Ron Paul Blimp, imagine the fun! |

| #6 Barnstorming in a crop duster bi-plane would be more Iowa sensitive. She'd look better in a helmut and goggles anyway. Maybe a banner behind it with "To Hill with Your Votes!" |

| #5 Makes sense since everybody knows the Bushees can crash planes, but not helicopters. Yet. /kos |

| #4 Speaking of Shrillary, I polled all my extended family's females, not one vote out of thirty-one. Didn't bother polling the men. |

| #3 Helicopters have an annoying habit of falling out of the sky. (Hope, Hope, I Hope.) |
