Talk:It's the economy, stupid

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I don't know how to go about doing it, but I believe the title of this entry should be changed, since the phrase used by Carville was simply "The economy, stupid," minus the first word.

I disagree. "It's the economy stupid!" is how the phrase became famous and was/is quoted/referred to. --Soylentyellow 16:28, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Last Sentence

"Although it is often cited as a Clinton campaign slogan, the phrase was only used internally, and did not become public until shortly after the election."

It's right that it wasn't a campaign slogan, but I think it became public well before the end of the campaign. Towards the end of The War Room George Stephanopoulous refers to this line of the 'haiku' by saying something like "I think if you did a Lexis search for it it would come up in a million different places."
