Hill Force One

Sen Hillary Clinton (D-NY) played flight attendant as media types joined her on her campaign plane (dubbed Hill Force One)for a flight from Las Vegas to Reno. From CNN:

"Clinton warned the press not to use electronic devices that could 'transmit a negative story.'

And she urged the press to keep seat belts fastened because, 'I have learned lately that things can get awfully bumpy.'

Clinton, seeming to read off a provided script, added, 'that in the event of an unexpected drop in the poll numbers' the plane would be diverted to
New Hampshire."


Prior to the flight Wednesday, the candidate and press took separate planes. No word on whether she served complimentary cocktails as part of the new campaign of cozying up to the media. (CNN)
