According to Bill, Hill not going negative on Obama would be political suicide. Slamming the media for favoring Obama over his wife, the former president told a crowd in New Hampshire: "You can't ask somebody who is at a breathtaking disadvantage in the information coming to the voters to ignore that disadvantage and basically agree to put bullets in their brains." Breathtakingly disadvantaged?? As the Clinton campaign is internally debating how to best use Bill Clinton, my advice would be to follow Al Gore's 2000 strategy of not using him at all. With every passing news cycle, and every head-scratching quote from Bill, this oft-ridiculed decision seems more and more like a stroke of genius.
