Win a day with Bill Clinton
By MIKE ALLEN | 4/15/09 3:05 PM EDT
A new effort to pay off Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign debt includes a chance to “spend a day with Bill Clinton” as one of the prizes for contributing as little as $5 online.
And talking heads stroke their chins about the “American Idol”-ization of American politics, but now it’s literally the case: Another prize is a trip for two to the show’s season finale.
Here’s the e-mail, sent by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee:
“From James Carville …
“I knew it was going to take an extraordinary effort to help pay off Hillary Clinton's campaign debt. But now, I think we can do it and have some fun at the same time! I won't spend a lot of time trying to convince you to help Hillary. I know what she means to you, and I'm sure you know how important it is for her to have her campaign pay off all its obligations.
“So let's get to the fun part — enter today to win one of three truly once in a lifetime opportunities and you will also be doing something great to help finish off Hillary's debt. With a contribution today, one of these exclusive prizes could be yours:
“* Spend a day with President Clinton. Head to New York City to attend several interesting events with President Clinton followed by your own special New York City weekend.
“* Attend the "American Idol" season finale. You and a guest will watch live as the "American Idol" judges make their final comments and decisions on this year's most anticipated season finale!
