An inside source at the Clinton campaign sent me a copy of a top secret campaign strategy memo which details the plans for winning over the blue collar and no collar voters. Staffers in the campaign call it the "Butt Crack Memo."
The memo came together after the huge success the campaign had sending Bill Clinton into small towns in Pennsylvania. It was drafted after the stunning response he had in Intercourse, PA. Bill claimed to have never been in Intercourse before. On the Intercourse stump he said, "I have never been in Intercourse before. I love Intercourse." The staff strategists put together a plan that would send the former President to as many small backwater towns as possible in every upcoming primary state.
These are towns, all previously served by railroads and now by-passed by both rail and interstate, who last saw a President when Theodore Roosevelt made a whistle stop in 1904. They are thrilled to see a former President, even one who is disgraced, increasingly irrelevant and relegated to eating large portions of fried chicken in bingo halls.
The memo got its name from the first stop on the former President's new schedule, Butt Crack, Indiana. Butt Crack is a wide place in the road just south of French Lick.
