What a tacky candidate for such a high-profile race:
Hillary Clinton's Republican challenger is getting personal and it's not pretty: He says the senator used to be ugly - and speculates she got "millions of dollars" in plastic surgery."You ever see a picture of her back then? Whew," said John Spencer of Clinton's younger days.
"I don't know why Bill married her," he said of the Clintons, who celebrated their 31st anniversary this month.
Stream-of-consciousness dialogue from a fool sitting next to a reporter. Candidates talk about issues, not looks. The schoolyard taunts are for the rest of us.
Posted by floridacracker at October 23, 2006 11:19 AMNot only is your point extremely well made, but there is also a good answer to why Bill married Hillary. I have every reason to believe that the book and film "Primary Colors" got it right. The Clintons are a political team -- Bill the candidate and Hillary the brains of the operation.
Now that both have a good deal of political experience behind them, we will see if the Clinton team can pull off the amazing feat of a first lady getting elected president.
Only time will tell.

The choice of Spencer reflects poorly on the NY Republican party. The guy's judgement is awful and he can't control his own mouth.

But given how this idjit is going they should have not nominated anyone.
