For instance, Clinton & W. both seemed pretty comfortable with the "regular guy" images when they were running, which served them well in our political climate and overshadowed the facts that both were Ivy League graduates, one was a Rhodes Scholar and practically a political child prodigy, and the other was as about as privileged and blue-blooded as a person can get. In a way, SNL and other comedians reinforced the campaign messages that Clinton and W. were "just one of the guys." Interesting, too, that some campaigns don’t mind the caricatures.
