Clinton Will Head West for the Parks, Not Scarce Votes
President Clinton says he’s not likely to score many political points by vacationing in sparsely populated Wyoming. The President is westward bound because he’s a self-proclaimed “big national park person.”
“Since I’ve been President, I’ve not been to any national parks,” Clinton told reporters who wondered why he had chosen to vacation in Wyoming. “From the time I was a young man, old enough to drive around, I visited national parks.”
Clinton said Friday his vacation later this month in Jackson Hole would allow him to visit two national parks--Yellowstone and Grand Teton--in one trip.
Clinton admitted the trip might not do him much good politically.
Wyoming has just three electoral votes “and the few they have are not likely to go for me,” he joked.
