Wal-Mart is certainly looking to hitch its wagon to a brand that can lead it to an upscale consumer base.

Her particular brand of hubris, not withstanding her apology and contrition, well, you had to understand that everybody would be watching. There is great risk in putting her back in front of so many people.

Hitch your wagon to a star.

We were fortunate to hitch our wagon to Phil early and he hasn't disappointed.

The consumer can pop for a spree now and then, but spending at its basic level is pressured by a negative savings rate.

I think Wal-Mart would be best advised to take care of its existing customers as opposed to reaching up and trying to curry the favor of a more affluent customer.
