You, a TV, a bowl of chips and Bill Clinton

By Scott Shepard | Tuesday, September 25, 2007, 12:02 PM

First, it was a contest to pick Hillary Clinton’s campaign song. Now, the Democratic front-runner is holding another contest - and the winner gets to “share the excitement” with the candidate’s husband, former President Bill Clinton.

The contest winner gets to watch one of the upcoming presidential debates with the former president. “You, me, a TV, and a bowl of chips,” says the come-hither headline announcing the chance to spend an evening with Bill Clinton.

“There are two things in this world that I love more than anything else - my family and politics,” Bill says in the message announcing the contest. “So you can imagine just how fired up I get when Hillary is on stage debating the issues that matter to our country. So here’s an idea: why don’t you and I share that excitement together during an upcoming debate.”

If you want to see just how fired up Bill gets, just enter the contest. “We’ll sit down in front of a big TV with a big bowl of chips, watch the debate, and talk about the race,” Bill says.

The campaign will pick three people, each with an invited guest to watch one of the debates with Bill. The deadline to enter the contest is Sunday midnight.

And, oh, yes, all you have to do to enter is to make a donation to the campaign through the Hillary Clinton website.

Being a college student I find it hard to have extra money. Fortunately I have already be able to donate $25 to Hillary, but I will definitely donate again for this awesome opportunity!

Well Ryan all I can say is don’t wear blue, and don’t let him smoke cigars around you….otherwise have a good time. I like Bill…not so much the Hill.
