Hillary and Mandela Poor Hillary was down in the dumps this morning, the campaign is in the doldrums, the pollsters are not being kind, the public is disinterested, and she is way behind in New Hampshire. To top it all off, now she is even having to consider Joe Biden as a potential competitor. Uncle Joe Biden! For crying out loud. So Bill did his best to try to cheer her up this morning, over breakfast. He reminded her of their good acquaintance, Nelson Mandela, who faced even greater hardship and adversities in his life, but still overcame them and triumphed. And he reminded her to look on the bright side: Nelson Mandela was elected President after he was released from prison.
