Hillary's Bracket Folly?

The two and a half (Hillary barely has a chance anymore) presidential candidates were all asked about their thoughts on the NCAA tournament.  Bloomberg has a nice writeup of their responses here.

 McCain, who is fiercely anti-gambling and would likely shut down every casino in Vegas if he could, allows people to fill out a bracket on his website and compete against him.  The winner will get a McCain t-shirt.

Obama published his bracket but has no contest open to the public.  He said that his campaign staff and he are all in an office pool in which everyone puts in $10 and the winner gets everything (which incidentally is the same kind of game I'm playing at work).  

Hillary said that she doesn't know much about it and will have to ask Bill for help.  While this might seem trivial, I don't think this is the time when she should be saying she needs Bill's help with anything especially in a game that appeals to 90% of men and probably 25% of women.  She desperately needs votes from everyone, including sports fans.
