Hillary Backs Out of Vogue Shoot

What is it with Hillary Clinton and Conde Nast?

First, the Democratic frontrunner's team successfully leaned on GQ to spike a planned story, by The Atlantic's Joshua Green, that reported on infighting within the campaign.

Now, says the Post's Liz Smith, the New York senator has cancelled a photo shoot with Vogue--Annie Leibovitz was all lined up--fearing that it could make her appear "elitist." To make matters worse, it looks like the campaign made the decision to back out a while ago, but didn't bother to tell Vogue until the last minute.

No candidate wants to look elitist, but alienating fashionistas might not be smart. As Ms. Smith puts it: "Elitists vote too, ya' know."
