HQ and slogan

The address listed on website is in Burke,VA. Would this mean that Webb's HQ is in Burke? Also, for the slogan, at the end of Webb's introductory "letter" on the website it says "Let’s fix our country. Together." This sounds like a slogan to me.

Good points on both accounts. Until we get an RS that says either has been updated we should go with what you suggested. Juno (talk) 07:36, 22 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Article Title

Should this article be titled "presidential campaign"? He isn't running yet.ObieGrad (talk) 16:00, 21 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This should help. From CNN, "To announce or not: Explaining presidential exploratory committees"

Q: Is someone with an exploratory committee a candidate?

"Whether someone is or is not a candidate is, in a practical sense, a matter of semantics. Legally, anyone who creates a federal campaign committee and has submitted a Statement of Candidacy is a candidate, regardless of whether his or her campaign committee contains the word "exploratory." For news organizations, the distinction is more difficult since a presidential hopeful who sets up a campaign committee with the FEC and calls it an exploratory committee might still say that no decision has been made and that he or she is not yet a candidate. The reality is that many (but not all) individuals who are seriously considering a bid for president take the legal steps to become a candidate before they have decided that they want to run or before they are prepared to declare their candidacies publicly. Some exploratory candidates, however, do not create an exploratory committee with the FEC and therefore do not officially become legal candidates when they create their exploratory committee."

Is there any precedent for another campaign being delayed as an article until it moves beyond the exploratory phase? As far as I know, there is not, but I can't say that I am outrageously knowledgeable about this. Juno (talk) 07:40, 22 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
