Quick Story.
Back in the 90's, during the Women's World Cup soccer tournament, there were a series of televised commercials in which actors (I think Travolta was one of them, if memory serves) implored something like "please Mr. President, please be at the women's championship game".
I wondered who would be insipid enough to fall for a promotion obviously produced by the Clintons and allies. Then, a (well educated) woman at work mentioned to me that she was hoping that President Clinton would go to the final match. It worked. Another Big Con by the Clintons to drum up suspense for their presence.
This same Hollywood tactic is sure to appear in Hillary's pre-campaign.
"NJ, actually, the Clintons already know the drill to build an artificial suspense."
I know, unfortunately.
They remind me of "Chicago" (the movie), when Richard Gere does his "razzle dazzle" song and dance. (I know I'm just asking for a Catherine Zeta-Jones picture here.) Unfortunately, in our modern culture, that nonsense works with many people.
And, for her artificial suspense in 2008, she'll probably be "too busy with her efforts to strengthen the military and secure the border" in the Senate. Or she won't want to "subject her family or our nation to the vicious smear campaign that the right is plotting."
It's so predictable to a careful observer, but it seems to work with the average voter.
