Shall she dance? Hillary invited to Dancing with the Stars

As the race between Senator Hillary Clinton and Senator Barak Obama heats up for the Democratic party presidential candidacy, here comes news that should throw the spotlight onto Hillary...if she's savvy enough to say yes. During a recent visit to The Tyra Banks Show, Hillary revealed that "if (paired) with one of those really good partners" she would someday like to compete on Dancing with the Stars. When the powers that be at Dancing heard that, they wasted no time in sending the former first lady a formal invitation. While they acknowledge that the show is not currently in production, dancers from the show are performing around the country in Dancing with the Stars - The Tour. They invited Hillary to choose any one of the dancers and take a try at a cha cha, pasa doble or tango. Or, if she prefer, she could always call on hubby Bill for a pas de deux.

Hillary shouldn't hesitate. She should take them up on this offer and do it now. This is a perfect opportunity to display her lighter side. It would be just like June 1992, when the then-struggling Democratic candidate, Bill Clinton, appeared on The Arsenio Hall Show and played "Heartbreak Hotel" on the saxophone. It is now considered classic TV. According to Wikipedia, it was "an important moment in Clinton's political career, helping build his popularity among minority and young voters." Many believe it helped Bubba to beat George H.W. Bush and become the President of the United States.

There's no question that a Dancing with the Stars photo op would be just the right thing to get Hillary some great publicity and show her off in a fun, frothy way. So, Hillary, grab your Capezios and stretch those calf muscles; the dance floor awaits you.
