The booze highlight of this campaign season was supposed to have been Hillary Clinton's Crown Royal and a beer in Crown Point, Indiana in April.
But the clear spirits people -- the young, upscale demographic in this bottle battle -- aren't conceding the election to the boat gas crowd.
Svedka, a mid-brow Swedish vodka seeking to "put the party back in party politics" has offered Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John McCain a free supply of the product between now and November 4.
Svedka made the offer in a full-page ad (above) in Monday's NYT wrapped around a thank-you from "Svedka_Grl" to Clinton for "making this election so exciting."
It's all part of Svedka's "Put a Fembot in the White House" promotion, which is more fully explained...Uh, never mind.
With that mechanical dominatrix look -- Astro Boy meets Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS -- Svedka_Grl makes for a risque marketing campaign.
Probably shouldn't hold our breaths waiting for the campaigns' responses to her generous offer. Though "Swedish vodka" would make for an interesting entry under in-kind contributions on the candidates' expense reports.
