73. A Perot was more critical than a Clinton last time.

Dec 2012

With a Perot, maybe even a Dukakis can beat a Bush.

Either way the Clinton name is not some mysterious counter nor is Jeb Bush some otherworldly opposition that only Excalib...er a Clinton can best.

You may as well be selling magic beans or political arcane power. Hell, if it was you may have dangerously selected the wrong Clinton since Hillary comes to name via marriage rather than blood birthright, maybe a born Rodham would have no more mystical touch than a mundane Kerry or only a half-elven like Gore that wins but does not win.

Maybe it would be safer to go with some Chelsea magic, or put the Clinton first and get Clint Black, or perhaps some George Clinton, after all the power funk compels you and he is a minority for extra position power since the party is banned by you and your all seeing wisdom forbidden from running white guys for President for mysterious reasons.

Do you also have a tooth fairy powered deficit reduction plan?
