Hillary Must Be Elected
Wednesday, February 06, 2008 Filed in: Media
Hillary Clinton must be elected President, otherwise,
what else will we talk about? All the other
candidates are boring.
There are some people that everyone just loves or loves to hate. Is it Barack Obama? Hardly. How about Mitt Romney? Certainly not. Ditto for all the rest of the viable candidates for president.
Go down the list of popular candidates. Fred Thompson? Ho hum. Rudy Giuliani? Politics as usual. John McCain? He's soooo 20th century. John Edwards? Pretty, but a footnote. Christopher Dodd and Joseph Biden? Who? The others provide also-ran status to the list, except Mike Huckabee of Arkansas.
There's plenty of comic relief with Mike Gravel, Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul, but let's be honest-- nobody has that true political love and hate like Hillary Clinton.
In general, Republicans despise Hillary, but many are fed up with the 'politics-as-usual' from the other candidates. Even Republican women watch Hillary Clinton. She's loved. She's hated. She's watched. And that's the point.
Americans seems to want politicians worth watching, and Hillary ranks #1 on the list.
Having Bill Clinton lurking around the White House shadows will provide four to eight more years of fodder for late night comedy monologues. Having a woman in the White House can't be any worse than having a second Bush to beat on.
Democrats love what is new and different, and Hillary, at least on the feminine surface, is that. On the other hand, among Republican men, Hillary hatred probably goes back to Eve; it's in the genes.
I'm as apolitical as you can get, but I know great entertainment when I see it. That's why Hillary must be elected. After all, what is politics if not public financed entertainment?
