Consider the presidential elections since 1979...

In each case, did the candidate who demonstrated the most
intelligence
win?

I say no - not in *any* case.

Oh, I think Hillary Clinton was a lot smarter than Elizabeth Dole,
and besides
her husband didn't need Viagra after the election. ;-)

Were they candidates? (I guess they thought they were!)

I don't think Hillary was the smarter one. See below.

Of course you know the joke that ends with Hillary asking "why are you
sitting in my chair?"

This part's for Steve:

While we may suspect that the less-intelligent candidate has won in
every presidential election since 1979, Bill Clinton managed to *prove*
it for us in his case. Even after other presidential hopefuls like Gary
Hart had their careers ruined by fooling around on the job, ol' Slick
Willy (SW) thought he could do it and get away with it. As if
Watergate, Wilbur Mills, Fannie Fox and all the other examples had
never happened, and he'd never get caught.

The funny thing is that even after the Gennifer Flowers incident,
Hillary *believed* him. Now she may have gone to good schools and had a
law career and all that, but if she can't tell that SW was playing the
same hootchy-kootchy game again, she sure ain't the brightest bulb in
the box.

You watch - Hillary will try for the presidency in 2008, and unless
she's stopped early on, will ruin any chances for the Dems.
