Yo, Clintons

 

A letter to Hillary and Bill...

Yo, Clintons, wake up. This ain’t complicated. If you were marginally less dysfunctional, you’d be on top of this already. But you aren’t so here’s some guidance.

You have essentially four boxes to choose from. Box one and two presume that Barack Obama loses. In box one, if you refuse to help or just sorta show up, you’re gonna get a good deal of the blame. In box two, if you work your buns off and he doesn’t make it, you won’t have to share the responsibility for the loss.

Boxes three and four contain the gravy; they presume that Obama wins. Box three is where you sit on your hands and you won’t get anything when the thanks are distributed. But in box four, if you put the pedal to the medal for the ticket, well, you’ll be in good shape. The party will be grateful, even if Obama isn’t enthusiastic, and you will be well positioned for the future...another presidential run for Hillary, and a less tarnished legacy for Bill.

So you Clintons would be fools not to do your darnedest to get Obama elected. You would be promoting yourselves while you were campaigning for him. You couldn’t lose with such a strategy. If you are smart. We’ll see.

Of course it may be that the Clintons are champing at the bit, waiting until closer to the voting before they are unleashed on the sway-able masses. Perhaps David Axelrod, the guy who helped get Obama the nomination has this all mapped out, and he’s waiting until the last minute to fire his big guns. Maybe Oprah and other star performers will also beat the hustings for Obama.

Ya gotta think that the people managing the donkey run have thought about this long and hard, and with many more facts than the few crumbs of wit that sit on the pundit’s plate. Probably.
