The Clintons are sitting on 3 rail cars of unused red, white and blue confetti. Most of the tri-colored balloons have been used prior to or sold since the Pennsylvania primary. When orders were initially placed, it was expected that massive quantities of the confetti would have been needed the evening of Super Tuesday in February.
Reports are that she has 3 of her staffers trying to obtain an optimal price per pound for the product. Currently, the staffers are calling all colleges and universities whose school colors are either red and white or blue and white.
The chief concern in the Clinton camp is that there will be a possible imbalance in the distribution in demand for the three colors. A second concern is that the collegiate football season is several months away and, due to the effects of global warming, humid summers are expected in much of the country.
Generally, there is an increase in demand and therefore price, for red, white and blue confetti in years in which Republicans are expected to win elections. This may be one reason that Mrs. Clinton earlier in the campaign endorsed Sen McCain as passing her "commander in chief test".
The secondary market for confetti is extremely complex. Most Wall Streeters prefer to place bets on safer vehicles, such as mortgage-backed securities, a Robert Rubin contribution during the 1990s.
Once she is able to obtain a satisfactory price for the remaining 3 rail carloads, it is expected that she will announce that she is suspending her campaign for the Presidency. Can anyone help her?
