Three lucky donors to Democratic Sen. Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign will get a seat on the couch with her husband, Bill, to eat junk food and watch an upcoming debate.

This latest pitch comes just days before the upcoming Sept. 30 quarterly fundraising deadline (see related story). You can contribute any amount, the campaign will select the winners.

 ”We’ll sit down in front of a big TV with a big bowl of chips, watch the debate, and talk about the race,” Bill Clinton said in an e-mail sent to supporters. 

“I’m excited about this idea because it involves three things I really enjoy: watching debates, watching Hillary run for president, and meeting her strongest supporters,” he said, omitting what was arguably one of his other favorite pastimes: eating.

Clinton has fought to keep weight off and gained notoriety on his own campaign trail and as president for dropping by McDonald’s and helping himself to the fast food.

The winners could very well get more of the chips now that the former president had heart bypass surgery in 2004 and is much thinner these days.
