Hillary Clinton: Modern Day Tracy Flick
In case you have not seen the ’90s movie, Election, it is about an annoying over-achiever running for Student Body President. She thought her election was inevitable, since she has been President of every club. Ergo, she was “entitled” to this honor. Then, she met Paul Nessler, the goofy guy from American Pie. He was the somewhat popular jock who all the kids loved. Long story about what happened… definitely a rental.
The more I think about this race, the more Hillary reminds me of Tracey Flick. And, Barack, well, he is the popular jock. Hillary runs around to every rally telling people what she has done and why she SHOULD be President. Meanwhile, Barack’s speeches focus on hope and idealism. Very conflicting campaign styles. I am really seeing a surging tide away from her, it appears.
