Let me start with her opening ad. Hopefully you saw it. I watched it the first time with my fiancee, and then we looked at each other and said, "what was that?" It was different. It was Americans. Not just white Americans, not just heterosexual Americans, just people from all walks of life. It was us.
Some time later I saw her campaign logo.
Simple. Not as stylized as President Obama's. An arrow pointing to the future, co-opting the red right from the Republican Party. It could have been done in Paint. Someone will eventually come along and make a version with the arrow pointing down- because trying to shame a symbol works so well.
I imagine all the backroom chatter from staunch conservatives will have much more to do with her gender- not openly of course. Just a little under the table. You will hear terms like "bitch" thrown out that would never be used on a male candidate. Which is fine, they called Obama worse. Ultimately, there is going to be a lot of upset over her having a vagina.
They may fire a few shots at former President Clinton. Which would have been appalling if it was any First Lady ever. Can you imagine people trying to shame Laura Bush? (Or George through her?) By now you've gotten used to it from the Republican side with Michelle Obama though.
They will say her name with a sneer, Hillary.That's fine by me to. She chose to run by that name. Hillary. Others have used their first name when running, or even nicknames. It does nothing to lessen her. I do like Ike, I'm glad Harry gave 'em hell.
Eight years as a Senator- actually relatively junior. Four more as Secretary of State. That's good, but I've seen better. The claims as to her being the most qualified are unimportant to me. When Bill Clinton ran, I think the more qualified person was George H.W. Bush. Nevertheless, President Clinton was the right person. Kennedy, same story. Now Hillary is the right person for America.
