By Buster Gunning With the Presidential election only two years away, Hilary Rodham Clinton appears to be the frontrunner for the 2008 Democrat ticket. Seeking the advice of former Presidential hopefuls such as John Kerry and Howard Dean, the other Clinton seeks to avoid the same pitfalls that buried her predecessors. ?Don?t play the sports angle,? advised Senator John Kerry, in a slow, voice to Clinton at a recent Democratic fundraiser. ?This is the only real advice I can give you.? During his run for President in 2004, self-proclaimed ?Sunshine Boy,? John Kerry was featured in numerous photo-ops displaying him throwing a football, windsurfing, and as a fanatic Boston Red Sox fan to name only a few. There were even rumors that Senator Kerry was spotted at an ?And 1? event waving a towel with vigor in the air. ?I thought that it might get me in touch with the common man,? continued Kerry to Hillary. ?I thought that if the common man saw me doing commoner things like sports that it might win me his affection. My advisors truly believed that if only the common man could see me doing these things that they do it might lead me straight to the Oval Office. Obviously, it did not work and therefore I do not recommend it to Senator Clinton. The common man did not appreciate my efforts. Also the common woman, she didn?t appreciate my efforts either.? Senator Clinton was appreciative of Kerry?s advice. She also made it clear that she had no intention to follow Kerry?s campaign or that of Howard Dean. ?I am not going to pose for athletic photo-ops, feign interest in Baseball or growl at my constituents on national television. I am going to base my campaign on the ideals that made out country great. We are going to get back to the basic including fiscal responsibility, making amends with our allies and return to the prosperous and optimistic nation that once was.? Senator Kerry seemed open to Clinton?s plan. ?Yeah, I guess that would work.?
