| Summary/Abstract |
In spring 2008, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton mounted a quixotic but remarkable comeback in her battle for the Democratic presidential nomination against Senator Barack Obama. Although it ultimately fell just short, part of the success of her resurgent campaign was a tilt in her message from policy to populism. Tapping into the hopes and insecurities of the U.S. public, she repositioned herself as champion of the "forgotten" middle class, focusing her message on pocketbook issues, jobs, and popular anxieties about globalization.
