clintonWe all heard Barack Obama make his picks on ESPN, but in case you missed it, here’s the video.  Well former President Clinton weighed in on his picks the other day as well, though not in the detail that Barack did. Here’s what Bill thinks:

Clinton, college basketball fan, and Carville, political strategist, went through the lineup.

“Who have you got in the Final Four?” Carville asked Clinton.

“”Louisville, Memphis, Pittsburgh and North Carolina,” Clinton said. “Or Louisville [versus] Connecticut. I can’t tell. Memphis may have a good enough defense, but they’re skinny, so U Conn can probably match up against them and I think they’ll get by.”

Clinton went on to predict a Louisville-North Carolina final, with the Cardinals emerging from a tight contest as National Champions.

“Louisville was so good to us the last go ’round I kind of think Louisville will win,” the former president said. “But North Carolina I still believe, you know, they sort of show up sometimes and sometimes they don’t.

Oh Slick Willy, you can never nail that guy down.  Clearly Bill hasn’t lost any of his political savvy, not allowing Carville to stick him with a pick that may end up being wrong.  I think Slick Willy is a legit College Basketball fan though.  Remember when he went to that National Championship game that year the Razorbacks won it?
