kind enough to share this accounbt from yesterday. Thank you, Ruby!
No more Madam Secretary. In Iowa, a lot of thought goes into the smallest of details to project her new platform — “champion” for everyday people.

MONTICELLO,
Iowa — For the purposes of the presidential campaign that began in
earnest here on Tuesday with a small roundtable discussion, billed as a
conversation “with everyday Iowans,” there is no Madam Secretary. There
is no senator, no first lady. There is no Mrs. Clinton. Her only title
is “Hillary.”
In campaign press releases and her website — and on a
call with senior officials on Monday to prepare for this trip to Iowa,
the first of her presidential campaign — the candidate is referred to
most often by first name only.
