Clinton Campaign Forgets Caucus Date

By Eric on December 24, 2007

Uh-oh, someone on Hillary Clinton’s staff forgot to proofread. At a rally in Iowa on Saturday, her campaign handed out “pledge cards” to supporters eligible to vote in the Iowa caucus. Unfortunately for Clinton, those potential voters who actually read the pledge card might not get a chance to caucus.

In the upper right-hand corner of the card, it says “I, _____, pledge to support Hillary Clinton at my precinct caucus on January 14, 2008.”

Unfortunately, that’s 11 days too late. The Iowa caucuses are January 3 and organization is key to getting voters to go to the events and support their preferred candidate.

Oops.

Considering the media coverage, it’s possible that this mistake won’t have much of an effect, as people will have figured it out for themselves. On the other hand, the key to winning in Iowa is getting as many supporters as possible through the door. We’ll see what happens.
