Some Free Advice for Hillary Clinton's Campaign
As First Lady, Hillary! wasn't very popular. Compare opinion polls from the majority of her "first ladyship" with that of Laura Bush and you'll see what I mean.
But a funny thing happened: Monicagate.
Although he'd had numerous affairs before, the Monica Lewinsky scandal happened in the White House, and Hillary! was shamed by her husband enjoying the charms of a young 20-something. (At the time, Hillary was in her 50s.)
Suddenly, her poll numbers began to rise. People felt sorry for the poor, belaguered wife who had suffered so much at the hands of her philandering husband. Her meddling in federal affairs (i.e. Hillarycare) was forgotten, and Hillary! became everyone's favorite martyr. This trend carried into her Senate campaign: she trailed behind rival Rick Laszlo in the polls until he approached her podium during the debate and "menaced" her. Poor thing...another man treating her, the fragile flower, badly. That debate caused her to surge in the polls and the rest is history.
My free advice? Bill needs to get caught in flagrante delicto -- the younger the gal the better. I guarantee a bounce for the Clinton campaign.

"I guarantee a bounce for the Clinton campaign."
... hmmm... and a "bounce" for ol' Bill.
(Groucho Marx' eyebrows "bouncing" up and down along with his cigar...)

Posted by: SoHoS at December 13, 2007 03:39 PMBill will get right on it. In fact, I'll bet he's been on it for the past 8 years.
Speaking of Monica, this will cover her whale tail ;~)
