Working Class Symbolism
please don't call me the t word

but the Rosie the Riveter ad was pure genius

it will symbolically resonate with the working class that we're trying to attract

especially auto workers in our crucial states: Michigan, Ohio, etc......

who is working on our ad campaign??????

do we have ads with that same powerful subliminal symbolism?????

I'm out here in so cal, so I don't ever see any campaign ads

2. the powerful imagery
Rosie the Riveter has a special place in US labor history

the image carries such power and weight to industrial workers, especially the unionized ones

winning is all about symbolism and emotion

that image in that ad will resonate deeply with working class manufacturing workers

3. It doesn't hurt that Obama's grandmother was Rosie the Riveter
