...rebrand themselves, candidates rolled out new slogans for their campaign tours. The result? Bland rhetoric and funky punctuation for all. [This article contains a table. Please see hardcopy of magazine.] TOUR TITLE TRANSLATION HILLARY CLINTON Big Challenges, Real Solutions?Time to Pick a President Generic message in multiple parts???just give us the nomination already BARACK OBAMA Stand for Change Stop stealing our theme, Hillary FRED THOMPSON The Clear Conservative Choice: Hands Down!
