It’s not the numbers —it’s the cookies, stupid!

Here’s the headline:

Hillary for president’ rally draws 20 instead of hoped-for 200

Hillary ClintonAnd here’s my favorite line from the story:

They were disappointed but said they are not focused on numbers.

Oh my. 

Perhaps they’re focused on “feelings”.  No no —I bet it’s “empowerment”.

A Hillary Clinton rally drew critics of President Bush, nonpartisan voters looking for a strong leader, and people who want to elect a female president.

About 20 people attended the Tuesday event, the national kickoff for Hillarynow.com, a grass-roots group pushing to draft the New York senator and former first lady to run for president in 2008.

“I’ve been fired up about her for a long time,” said Mary Sneed, 64, of Pegram. “I think she can get things done. I admire what she’s done in upstate New York. If she can win over New Yorkers, she can win over anybody.”

Organizers hoped to have 200 people at the event in Nashville, a city selected to show that Democrats can win in Southern states.

They were disappointed but said they are not focused on numbers.

And this was my favorite line’s competition:

Attendees got custom-baked “Hillarynow.com ginger-girl” cookies that O’Hanlon baked and chocolate chip cookies from a Clinton recipe made by Goodlettsville chef Anna Lia Notardonato-Hicks.

Sort of reminded me of the Paul Martin ginger bread man cookies that Team Martin handed out to reporters right after he called an election last year, which so creeped me out.
