Senator Clinton's First Choice Was Chumbawumba, But They've Already Endorsed Dennis Kucinich

Holly Bailey

Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have been duking it out for months over who would best lead their party and the country into the future. But Wednesday night, it seems, Clinton is just fine with living in the past. According to her campaign, she’s set to headline a Boston fund-raiser aimed at mobilizing young women voters. The musical entertainment: the Goo Goo Dolls, a sappy alt-rock band that enjoyed their biggest hits back in the days when Bill Clinton still lived in the White House. Now before the hate mail starts rolling in, yes, we know the Dolls still tour, and yes, "Iris” remains, somehow, a mainstay of late-night FM radio dedication hours, right up there with the seemingly unkillable “Lady in Red.” Yay for royalties. But headlining a fund-raiser to pump up young women? It's not like Hillary couldn't get anyone else. Her ties to Hollywood and the entertainment industry are well documented and even regarded with some degree of jealousy by her fellow Dems. Earlier this year, hip-hop impresario Timbaland hosted a fund-raiser for her. So what gives? All we know is, Barack Obama had better get on the phone now before Hillary locks up Collective Soul, too.
