Senator Clinton: A Steeper Hill(ary) to Climb
February 28, 2007
Although it doesn’t seem possible, it has been less than three weeks since Hillary Rodham Clinton-Rodham formally announced her candidacy for President. She started the living room and luncheonette phase of the campaign in New Hampshire causing Scott Brooks of the Manchester Union Leader to point out she “had not stepped foot in New Hampshire since campaigning for her husband’s reelection more than a decade ago.”
* Although it doesn’t seem possible, it has been less than four months since Hillary won re-election to her US Senate seat getting 67% of the vote against an unbelievably flawed Republican opponent.
* Although it doesn’t seem possible, Hillary’s campaign cost, according to the NY Times, about $36 million (nearly three times more than any other candidate for US Senate) to get 2.8 million votes (about $12.80 per).
* It is obvious that Hillary’s campaign for re-election to the US Senate was modeled after — wait for it — George W. Bush’s campaign for re-election as Governor of Texas in 1998.
