7. Found a reference for that - It appeared in Newsweek - HRC did tell Edwards to just look pretty!
When she wanted prime time - and lots of it - to explain in a lengthy floor speech why she was backing Bush on Iraq, Clinton asked Byrd to give her a chunk of his time. He happily agreed. When the hard-charging and Hollywood-handsome Sen. John Edwards rushed to the floor at the last minute and asked to speak, Democratic leaders had no time left to give him. Clinton couldn't restrain a triumphant grin at the plight of a clear rival - in fact, one who is seeking the 2004 nomination. She spoke to him in a near shout - loud enough for the galleries to hear. "Just stand there and look pretty, John" she said.

The Newsweek Article is too old for me to pull up but I am sure the excerpt is correct. How sexist of her to say that? And SHE is going with her hat in her hand to John Edwards to seek his votes! Wow!!!! Thanks for bringing this up!!
:wow:
