Bill tried that already... But the dog got killed.

Sen. Hillary Clinton, speaking in Bettendorf, Iowa, trying to convince a crowd to caucus for her, explained that she wants to be with them so that she can win Iowa in November 2008.
"I want a long term relationship," she said. "I don't want to just have a one night stand with all of you."
Clinton is trying to earn support of Iowans by launching a new theme today -- "Take your Buddy to Caucus." This is a new strategy from Clinton, who has said that most of her supporters have never been to a caucus before. The campaign has showed their video expressing how easy it is to caucus with a little humor -– including an image of Bill Clinton running on a treadmill, thinking about a hamburger and saying "exercise is hard." The video concludes "caucusing is easy." (Video can be seen here: http://www.hillaryclinton.com/video/69.aspx)
The latest Des Moines Register poll shows Clinton coming in behind Senator Obama among likely caucus-goers. Clinton is now at 25 percent, down from 29 percent, and Obama is the choice of 28 percent of likely Democratic Party caucus-goers, up from 22 percent.
"I know that this is a close race here in Iowa," Clinton said earlier today, but her campaign is committed to organize and even shovel Iowans' sidewalks in order to help them get to the caucuses.
"Let's have a raucous caucus," Clinton said to voters in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, earlier today. "It reminds me of that book 'Where the Wild Things Are,' that book I used to read to Chelsea all the time. Let the wild rumpus begin."
See nobody is paying attention to her bribes from China!
Honestly, that is the lamest line I’ve ever heard. She’s my age, almost exactly, and for her to use a line normally used in a sexual context is so inappropriate—doesn’t she know how gross she sounds?
Bill tried that already... But the dog got killed.
Didn't they manage to 'lose' Buddy already?
I guess this means she will honor the same commitment she made earlier and will remain the Jr. senator from NY.
That’s a first.
I’m not certain whether she is using that “line” consciously and deliberately in order to rekindle memories of her husband’s Administration among those who remember it wistfully - or whether she’s simply a tactless, classless power-seeker. Either way, no rational person ought to buy what she’s selling.
Her entire life has been a one night stand. She has accomplished nothing.
“I want a long term relationship,” she said. “I don’t want to just have a one night stand with all of you.”
She really has a way with words, hasn’t she?

Uh, can ANYBODY please tell me how the smartest woman in the world can drop a line like this? I can honestly say this, no other candidate, male or female, would ever say this during a Presidential Election.

You all owe it to yourselves to go to the article and read the comments.

She REALLY should stay away from sexual references.
Ping.
There's a mental image I could have done without.
One night stand??!!!.....ewwwwwwwww.
Please...oh, please let the wheels be coming off the clinton bus.
If this bus's a-rockin'...maybe the wheels are coming off. ;)
What a decade it’s been for Hillary. First, she steals China. Then, she takes money from China. Now her campaign is going through “The China Syndrome.”

Wild Rump Bump!
