Clarice's Pieces: Bang the Drum Loudly
By Clarice Feldman

By today, the deadline has passed for your chance at an all-expenses-paid trip on October 22 to Las Vegas to meet the president, a lottery sponsored by Organizing for America and said to be worth $1,200. It's one of the few chances to meet him outside the District of Columbia.
As the president's popularity sinks even farther, others are taking to the campaign trail in his stead in an effort to revive his party's flagging fortunes. Bill Clinton, for example, flew to Binghamton, NY to campaign for Maurice Hinchey. William Jacobson of Legal Insurrection reminds us that Hinchey, a far-left congressman, tried to impeach Bush a few months before his term was up and accused the administration of deliberately allowing bin Laden to escape at Tora Bora in order to justify the war in Iraq two years later. And there, Clinton struck just the right (that is, wrong) note, contending that half of Republicans needed psychiatric help.

The First Lady, too, hit the campaign trail in Wisconsin for Russ Feingold and in Illinois for Alexi Giannoulias. Besides giving us more looks at her armpits than we want, in Wisconsin, she downed a cheeseburger and fries and told the audience that she and Russ shared something significant -- they both disagreed at times with her husband: That should wrap up the race.
