The Hillary Angle
By Ed Driscoll · October 27, 2004 10:53 AM · The Making of the President

Interesting post on the Hillary angle on this election. It mentions the disparity between She Who Would Be President and her husband:

The underground war raging between John Kerry and Hillary Clinton spilled over into Senator Clinton’s marriage this week, as well. Hillary was reportedly dead-set against Bill stumping for Kerry, knowing full well the strength he brings to the Kerry campaign in the waning hours of the 2004 election.
Of course, it hasn't been a whole lot of campaigning: as Jonah Goldberg notes:
I talked to a lot of volunteers and politically active conservatives in Pennsylvannia yesterday. The consensus pretty much seemed to be that Kerry's definitely going to take the state. However, it seems to me and some of them, that the Clinton appearance was a huge victory for Bush in the sense that Kerry used him in a state his campaign should have put away a long time ago. Because of Clinton's heart troubles, he's definitely a limited resource and they used it all up here.
Update: Frank Martin writes:
Why am I voting for Bush?

Because President Clinton told me to!

President William Jefferson Clinton: "If one candidate is trying to scare you and the other is trying to get you to think, if one candidate is appealing to your fears and the other one is appealing to your hopes, you better vote for the one who wants you to think and hope," he said. Well damned if he aint got it right.

That's exactly what I thought when I heard that soundbite in a Manhattan cab on Monday.
