Why Hilary Duff Would Make a Better Presidential Candidate Than Hillary Clinton

Let's set the record straight. I am not opposed to having a woman president, and for the right one, I may even cross party lines and vote for a Democrat. Though I do have to say, I do not like Hillary Clinton. Hillary gives me nightmarish flashbacks to the life I left behind in a communist country long ago, a place I do not wish to revisit. So, if we have to have a Hillary for president I would like to propose Hilary Duff as a viable substitute for Hilary Clinton. Here, then, are my top 10 reasons why I think Hilary Duff would make a better presidential candidate than Hillary Clinton.

1. Hilary Duff could come up with a better campaign theme song.

Hilary Duff's song, "Supergirl", which offers the lyrics, "I'm Supergirl you don't wanna mess with me," would make for the perfect campaign theme song. Hillary Clinton on the other hand has been having a hard time coming up with the right theme song, going as far as running a contest on a web site to try pick one.

2. Hilary Duff can mult-task like nobody's business.

Sure Hillary Clinton is a U.S. Senator, but ask yourself, what has she really done lately? Hilary Duff on the other hand is capable of juggling a career as a singer and actress with the demands of having her own clothing line. Clearly Miss Duff is the better choice to handle the multiple programs of the highest executive office in the land.

3. Hilary Duff resides in both a Red and Blue State.

In these days that call for bi-partisan political alliances, it would be refreshing to have a president that has homes in both a red and blue state. Hilary, who is from Texas, also has a residence in California, and is clearly able to appeal to both parties.

4.There would be no need for a First Gentleman.

Lets face it, if Hillary Clinton where to win the White House, Bill Clinton would become the first gentleman. We are not ready to travel down that road yet. On the other hand, the unattached Hilary Duff would not bring with her this type of problem.

5. Hilary Duff can act, and would make better campaign commercials.

Hey, if you are going to have "Sopranos" inspired commercials as part of your presidential campaign, at least get someone who can act. Hilary Duff is an actress who would fit the role nicely. Besides, the last time we had an actor in the White House the country was on a roll.

6. Hilary Duff has a warm smile.

We all know Hillary Clinton is perceived as having a rather "icy" personality. Hilary Duff on the other hand has a bit of charm and a warm smile. Public opinion polls would highly favor Duff's personality over Clinton's.

7. Hilary Duff can get out the young vote.

Look, it's about time we get the 18-25 age group to really participate in an election. Hilary Duff is young and can get out the votes. I mentioned this idea in passing to the young guys at work and they all said they would support Duff over Clinton.

8. There are fewer skeletons buried in Hilary Duff's closet.

Aren't we tired of politicians with skeletons in their closet? Are we tired of hearing about scandals such as "Whitewater?" Do we really need another Bill Clinton-Intern scandal? Well, Hilary Duff comes with a lot less dirt, unless you are counting on minor things like a tiff or two with Lindsey Lohan.

9. Hilary Duff cares.

For those of you feeling let down by politicians in Washington, Duff is your candidate. The girl champion's animal rights, is involved in several charities, is a member of "Kids with Causes," and was involved heavily with relief efforts after Katrina. How can anyone not like that?

10. Hilary Duff has the "It factor."

Most of all, American politics is about having the "It" factor. It's all about Nixon losing a bid for the White House when by sweating on TV, while Kennedy looked young and appealing. Hillary Clinton is Nixon to Hilary Duff's Kennedy. It's really a no-brainer when it comes to the "It" factor, Duff has it, Clinton doesn't.

So there you have it America. Let's do the right thing this coming election year, and lets talk Hilary Duff into running for office instead of Hillary Clinton. Let's send a clear message to Washington. Now who's with me? And before anyone says it, yes, she is too young, but we will worry about that when the time comes.
