Despite Clinton’s best efforts to imitate Fritz’s ’84 run with her slogans (“where’s the beef?”) and advertising (“the red phone”!), she is in the rather difficult position of banking on a late surge in the final months of the campaign that would allow her to make a Gary Hart-like argument for the nomination that she had won over most of the voters who had voted in the most recent contests.  So what she is reduced to saying is that she’s a lot like Mondale, except less successful.
