(CNSNews.com) - Hoping that life will imitate art, backers of Hillary Rodham Clinton for president are celebrating ABC's new TV series "Commander in Chief," in which actress Geena Davis plays America's first female president.
"Next Tuesday's series premiere is 'Super Tuesday' for Hillary supporters," said the Bill-for-First-Lady campaign, an Internet-based effort that uses comedy -- and a cross-dressing Bill Clinton look-alike -- to boost Hillary's political fortunes.
"The debate is over: America is ready for a woman commander in chief," said Bill-for-First-Lady.com spokesperson Luke Montgomery. "Geena Davis has our vote, but there's no doubt the real-life winning ticket is Hillary as president with Bill as 'First Lady,'" he added.
Montgomery predicted that "Commander in Chief" will get voters comfortable with the idea of a woman in the Oval Office. "It's just perfect timing, almost as if it had been planned that way," he said.
The Bill-for-First-Lady campaign announced it is planning a "thank you" rally outside ABC's Times Square studio on premiere night, Tuesday, Sept. 27.
Supporters plan to carry signs reading, "In 2008 Hillary will be President," mimicking ads for the TV show, which say, "This fall, a woman will be president."
The rally also will include an appearance by a cross-dressing Bill Clinton -- the next "first lady," Montgomery says.
Montgomery's website says it uses comedy to convey its message, and it features several video "campaign commercials" showing a Bill Clinton stumping for first lady -- dressed in a pink dress, matching heels and a purse.
