Is there anything in the past that helps us? Below the whole kahuna. My favorite interpolations.
Who is Mitt Romney? (1844)
For President of the People (1848)
Don't swap horses in the middle of the stream (1864)
I Like Barak (1952)
The stakes are too high (1964)
Note that in 2000 W had four slogans as did Obama in 2008
I see no reason why we cannot begin to use the ideas above to see what sticks.
And here are others that occur to me:
Who cares?
Don't give up your vote!
And here are credited candidates from Twitter.
