Why is the consulting class so bad at slogans? Our uni blew big money on this kind of thing and got back the slogan "Become by Doing." Which, just...what? It's now on banners and everything. *Smacks head on desk repeatedly*

Californian here. There's a deep bench of talented people in politics here that haven't had a chance of moving up til now. Imho, her daughter doesn't have nearly the visibility (yet?) it would take to pursue the seat. Gonna be interesting to see what happens!
