Hillary Clinton to launch campaign from one of New York’s least-accessible public places

Going to Hillary’s kick-off rally? Go early!


This appears to be deliberately designed to create pandemonium and disorder for maximum media exposure:

Clinton’s New York speech will be open to the public and tickets will be free, according to the campaign website.

But that message came with a big disclaimer: tickets do not guarantee admission and the rally will fill up on a first-come, first-served basis.

People will be camping out, unless they distribute exactly enough tickets there could be a real mess, a Black Friday kind of mob. Bad Idea.

If they want to do this safely, they'll determine an exact number of quests who can safely attend and distribute that number of tickets in some fair fashion, with an additional number of standby tickets, to prevent crazy campouts and attendant squabbles.

I think, however, that they've planned it this way for reasons of making it more "newsy".

The symbolic backdrop won out over other potential sites for Clinton’s “vision” speech that were floated to the campaign by supporters, such as Seneca Falls, N.Y., the site of the first women’s rights convention in 1848.

In announcing the venue for the much-anticipated speech, the campaign emphasized Clinton’s long admiration of both Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt. Clinton is expected to be joined at the kick-off speech by her family, Chelsea and Bill Clinton. It won’t mark their first time there: Bill Clinton was one of the speakers at the 2012 dedication ceremony of the park.

Clinton’s New York speech will be open to the public and tickets will be free, according to the campaign website. But that message came with a big disclaimer: tickets do not guarantee admission and the rally will fill up on a first-come, first-served basis. A spokesman said it was not clear yet how many supporters the venue would accommodate...............
