Why now for Clinton's book and not till after the elections

[Blue_Roses]

Joe Klein on MTP said this morning that one of the reasons it may have been "sloppy in writing" was that Clinton, as always, was pushing to meet a deadline. Why the rush and who is rushing to put this book out now? Anybody in the "publishing world" who can explain this? :shrug:

1. just like the reagan coverage

it is just as well to get it over now before people start to concentrate on the election

4. yep, you're right

the hype will be over before the convention, but I still don't understand the rush. I like Clinton and would rather see his face than Bush's, but all this hype takes away from what is going on with the 9/11 commission and Iraq.

2. How about somebody in the "real world?"

Because the Big Dog's book will remind us what it's like to have a REAL president come November.

6. I don't have to have his book to remind

me of what a great President he was. I just look at my pocketbook and the mess in Iraq now!;)

3. Didn't He Also Say that CLINTON Said the Pre-Convention Period

is a dangerous time for the pre-nominee, that in attempting to eat up all the oxygen himself a pre-nom could easily knock himself out of the running altogether, that CLINTON's taking up the slack is a PLUS.

5. I didn't hear that,

missed the first 10 minutes.
