20th-Century Analog Arrogance in a Digital Age

I make it a rule not to write about politics, and this posting is no exception. It is, however, about a line from Frank Rich’s column in the New York Times on Sunday, March 30, that’s stuck in my mind — about the tactical thinking style of the advisors who surround Mrs. Clinton. The subject falls into the category of how to do competitive positioning and how not to.

Rich referred to the style of Clinton’s advisors as, “…the political perils of 20th-century analog arrogance in a digital age.” It’s a brilliant line, especially in the context of who Mrs. Clinton’s advisors are and the old-fashioned style of PR they represent.
