Carville for Hillary as 'Go Daddy Girl'

I chuckled when I heard James Carville's statements about Hillary because I cannot even imagine her being the Go Daddy Girl in those risque commercials. Being from Arizona, I know a little bit more about the company since it is headquartered there and it is a company that has done extremely well for itself simply by going against the norm and taking risks along the way. One of the biggest stories I have seen come from the company was last Christmas when they held their annual party to celebrate the holiday at Chase Field with Sinbad serving as the MC. They gave away Harleys, cars, and jewelry to its employees and I was shocked at how they could afford all of this stuff during the time of economic downturn. Even though Hillary probably will not be doing the commercial, it was brilliant for the company to engage in this sort of conversation because now it gets back into the spotlight essentially without having to pay for any advertising. The ads they put out during the Super Bowl cost millions of dollars and they have helped boost sales, but free publicity is something that I see as close to if not even more valuable than those ads with Danica Patrick.
