President Bill Clinton is scheculed to visit Clinton, Indiana, tomorrow. If you're not from around here, you may not know about Clinton, Indiana. It's a nice clean little town with a population of a little over 5,000. That's right, 5,000 people!
Clinton, the city, is not known for great wealth. According to the 2000 census, males had a median income of $28,294 versus $22,927 for females. The per capita income for the city was $14,601.
So why the hell would Clinton come to Clinton? The answer: votes. Indiana is having its primary in May. Usually Indiana's May primary is no big deal because the presidential candidates are already selected by that time. Not this year...
That's why Hillary came to Terre Haute in March, Chelsea in April and now Bill will be in Clinton tomorrow.
It's been more than 25 years since a presidential candidate has visited this area. Now we're important! Now they love us! We've got what they need!
Bottomline:
1. Either Hillary or Obama could win, the race is that close.
2. Hillary really, really, really wants to win this one.
Me? Well, those who know me will not be surprised when I say that there is nothing lower on this earth than a draft dodger. If my dad's generation were like you, Mr. Bill, we'd all be goosestepping. And we sure as hell wouldn't be speaking English!
I wish they'd leave us alone. I vote in Illinois!
