Talk about bad optics!

[Joanie Baloney]

I just saw KamaAina's post about the HRC's ill-conceived Venn diagram. Not as egregious, but equally jarring was this news from San Diego:

The Hillary Clinton campaign officially opened an organizing office in Bankers Hill Tuesday – the first in San Diego. Local Clinton supporters Assembly Member Toni Atkins and Councilmember Todd Gloria, along with...snip

Yes, that's right. The area in San Diego where she chose to locate her office is known officially as Bankers Hill.

The jokes practically write themselves. What happened to that one person on the campaign that checks the candidate for toilet paper on the shoes, spinach in the teeth, etc.?

1. She doesn't need a ground game when her surrogates are running the elections

2. Both HRC and I will enjoy the jokes because

you're right they write themselves

[BillZBubb]

3. Truly a fitting location for Ms. Golden Sacks.

She is the bankers Hill' after all.

[Fairgo]

4. Values create self organising systems

It was bound to happen

[Shandris]

5. I've heard of making a final stand on Banker's Hill, Hill, but this is ridiculous.

Besides, I thought that famous battle was at BUnker Hill! (And it totally was, since I have stayed pretty darn near it!)

Looks like her Meme Team steered her wrong again. I'm tellin' ya, it's total amateur hour up in there.

6. Bankers Hill is near the heart of SD LGBT community

Bankers Hill is near the heart of San Diego's LGBT community. Strategically speaking, it's a fantastic location to open an office for voter outreach.

[Joanie Baloney]

11. Yes, but

Hillcrest is the real LGBT center and that sounds much better!

7. Maybe the area's name is derived from all the lugeing down the snow banks going on there?

Alas, no. Per Wiki: "The area acquired the name 'Bankers Hill' because of its reputation as a home for the affluent."

8. The rent is moderate

it is not as posh as it once was. But the optics, if you do not know San Diego, suck

[Joanie Baloney]

12. Yes, I know

Tell 'em Phil sent ya!

[Warren DeMontague]

10. Her team already boasted that they want to appeal to "megachurch moms"

Yay religious right!

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. To be absolutely fair

that is the wrong neighborhood for that. There is a reason why the Republcians are in Rancho Bernardo.

[MindPilot]

16. Oh yes, Rancho Retired-o

But that still isn't really what I would call a place for "megachurch moms". Still have to go a few dozen miles to the North for that target demo.

17. Go east young man, go east

as in El Cajon

14. Speaking of bad optics--

Don't post any unflattering photos of HRC--you will get a hide.

18. Thanks for the tip!

[MindPilot]

15. How positively Freudian of her!

to paraphrase Bogie...

Of all the neighborhoods, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine.

As a previous poster noted, she is Bankers' Hill.
