Clinton pokes fun to show how easy Iowa caucus is

You’ve got to give the Hillary Clinton campaign a point for creativity.

The New York senator’s campaign put on her Web site a quirky video explaining how the Iowa presidential nominating caucus works (see our more mundane explainer here).
 
The video’s theme is how participating in the caucus is easy while in comparison exercising is hard, showing Clinton’s husband, former President Bill Clinton, trying to exercise while being taunted by a juicy hamburger that he probably shouldn’t eat since he had heart problems a few years ago.
 
It also shows video clips of former Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack trying to dance and Hillary Clinton trying to belt out the Star-Spangled Banner — noting both are also hard while going to the caucus is easy and won’t take but an hour or so.
 
Clinton held a narrow lead in Iowa ahead of the Jan. 3 caucuses but has a wider margin in national opinion polls.
