Clinton bis



One of the funny things about this campaign is the use made by Hillary Clinton of her husband, Bill. As few may know in France, Hillary is not really popular here. There is a big risk for democrats if they nominate her that she will not be able to get the vote of the most moderate voters who might prefer voting for McCain or Giuliani.

Right now is one of the most important time of the presidential race. At the end of the month, candidates must declare for the first time how much money they have raised.
This is extremely important because it is an early sign to demonstrate how capable you are to finance your political campaign. During his first campaign, Pres. Bush surprised everyone by raising more than 7 millions dollars twice as much as its next immediate follower John McCain.

As a result, Hillary is using her husband in order to help her raise as much money as possible before the end of the month.
This move is important because I don't know how much she can capitalize on her husband who left the White House after a succession of scandals.
