Raffle Behalf Hillary Clinton: Anything but the Grand Prize, Please
Monique Chartier
From the BBC News.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is offering the chance to spend a day with her husband Bill in exchange for help paying off her campaign debt.The offer was sent to supporters of Mrs Clinton in an e-mail from her former campaign manager, James Carville.
Mrs Clinton owes $2.3m (£1.5m)from her run for the Democratic Party nomination for the presidency last year.
For a $5 donation, supporters enter a draw for several prizes including a day with the former US president.
The other prizes are tickets to the season finale of the hit US talent show American Idol and lunch in Washington with Mr Carville - a long-time Democratic strategist.

I'd rather spend the day having knee surgery.

Perhaps a cigar from his collection?
