"First, Not France" and "Hillary=France"
(February 27, 2007)
A "leaked" playbook for the Romney campaign gives insight into what staffers think his weaknesses are. Among them? Too perfect hair. But what critics pounced on aren't the perceived weakness so much as his oddly earnest appeal to make France the boogeyman of the campaign, going so far as to envision the weirdly non-referential "First, Not France" and "Hillary=France" bumper stickers. First in the world, not France in the world? Sure.
