The Hillary Clinton T-Shirt Contest

In light of all that’s happening in the Democratic Party, Hillary Clinton has decided to…hold a t-shirt design contest? T-shirt sales can be a good way to raise money for online campaigns, I suppose, but I can’t say that I saw this one coming.

You can go over to Clinton’s site and vote among the top five designs. The winning shirt will be going on sale in the campaign store. Maybe Clinton will earn enough off of it to take care of some of her massive debt.

But she should really be thinking about how much time the media is spending on this whole t-shirt business. Nobody knows where Clinton is today or if she’s holding any kind of event, because we’re all staring at five t-shirts, trying to decide who made this decision enough of a priority to send out even a single email.

A small selection of the coverage:

• MediaBistro: “Clinton’s Cringe-Inducing Design Contest“
• The Economist: “Isn’t it a little late for this?“
• The Washington Post: “Fixcam: Hillary Clinton’s T-Shirt Competition“
• Kitsap Caucus: “Hillary to a T“

There are hundreds more — all focusing on this t-shirt competition. At least, it’s been a nice change from all the mathematical discussions showing the different miracles that might be enough to get Clinton the nomination.
