NEW YORK, NY (SR) - Former President Bill Clinton is raffling himself in order to pay off his wife's remaining $771K campaign debt.
This is the second time in a year that Mr Clinton has offered himself as a lottery prize to whittle down Hillary’s debt. As Secretary of State, she is barred from raising money herself to pay it off.
In an e-mail sent to millions of people who supported Hillary Clinton’s White House campaign, the former President asks: “How would you like the chance to come up to New York and spend the day with me?” Out of thousands of replies, one individual is then chosen to spend "private time" with Mr. Clinton.
While the earlier lottery was a great success, many were left questioning exactly how the former president picked the winner, for obvious reasons. Insiders say the former First Lady has been at the forefront of those seeking information on the process.
My comments: This is the very thing that makes me want to become a politician. Well played, Bill. Well played.
