Am I a Democrat or a Republican? Depends on the size of your ad budget!

A couple of things struck me about today’s announcement that Sen. Hillary Clinton, has begun tapping into Madison Avenue to build her marketing team for her 2008 presidential bid. Actually, if you think about it, she hasn’t just started, ‘cos it seems to me that these days, politicians never stop running! The ad hacks involved include Roy Spence, longtime Clinton friend and CEO of GSD&M; Andy Berlin, CEO of WPP Group's Voluntary United Group of Creative Agencies; (which is one of the dumber agency names around!) and Jimmy Siegel, a former BBDO senior executive creative director who is now CD at a-political, an issues advocacy marketing firm. OK, sounds like a bunch of the usual suspects… But here’s the funny bit… It would seem that Andy Berlin had previously worked on Bob Dole's 1996 presidential bid. To which I have to say… OK, Andy, I could understand if Dole and Clinton were two different kinds of soap powders, but the last time I heard, Dole was a Republican and Hillary is a Democrat (well kind of!) Does this mean that apart from running an agency with a really pretentious and stupid name, you will, in the true spirit of the ad business, do anything for money?

Andy was torn between handling Hillary, or Paris Hiltons anti-drinking campaign!

While some won't stop thinking about tomorrow, others will be thinking about why?

do anything for money?

did you do it for love, did you do it for money, did you do it for spite, did you think you had to, honey?

I doubt anyone even finds out in the long run anyway.

Why did you do it?

to answer my own question...

the last 30 years (minus last year for sure) I've been doing it for love. Then my karma cup overflowed and I added in a little spite to catch up with the rest of the world.

Sprinkled with a dash of I thought i had to, funny? NOT.
