Election (2008 remix)

Reader Judith Sears reminds us of the 1999 film “Election,” starring Reese Witherspoon. Witherspoon plays Tracy Flick, the ferociously ambitious, ethically compromised candidate for student council president. Sears points out that someone has put together a short video that casts Hillary Clinton in the role of Tracy Flick. Say what you will about Tracy Flick, she rises on the strength of her own wiles. At the online home of numerous former Minneapolis Star Tribune writers, our old friend Sarah Janacek has somehow managed to fit in and set up shop. Sarah makes the point that “Hillary’s way is not the feminist way.”
