Bill & Hillary Launch Campaign Swing for Obama

by labanman, Sat Oct 11, 2008 at 10:15:14 PM EST

Some really great news !

As we are headed to the home stretch of the 2008 Presidential campaign, the Clinton's are launching a multi-state campaign through battleground states for Senator Barack Obama.

Former President Bill Clinton & Senator Hillary Clinton will take center stage on Sunday in Scranton, PA together with VP candidate Senator Joe Biden.

After the Scranton rally, the Clinton's will take separate routes through battleground states in support of Senator Barack Obama. They will also campaign for Senate & House democratic candidates across the country.

Bill Clinton will then be campaigning in Richmond and Roanoke,Virginia. He then proceeds to campaign in the two battleground states of Ohio & Nevada. He carried both states in 1992 & 1996. Hillary Clinton also remains popular in these two states.

While Hillary Clinton's campaign schedule after Scranton, PA includes the battlground states of Florida, Ohio,Minnesota & Omaha, Nebraska. ( Hillary in Nebraska ! Wow- Obama must be really close in getting that 1 electoral vote in the district)

Bill Clinton was also in Florida earlier this week while Hillary Clinton campaign in Little Rock, Arkansas last Friday.

Senator Clinton also gave radio interviews in North Carolina & Spanish stations in Florida on behalf of Senator Obama. She also launched a Women's get out the vote by phone in Wisconsion.

Senator Clinton has headline more than 50 events for Barack Obama in the last 60 days & has raised over $10 million dollars for the Obama campaign.

This is just awesome news for Senator Obama & the democratic party. While the big dogs Bill & Hillary are going all out for Obama, John McCain is doing everything to stay away from the Bush family.

Just like Georgia & West Virginia, I would not be surprised if Obama closes the gap in Arkansas. The Arkansas Governor & two Senators are also spending time campaigning for Senator Obama.

Go Go Obama ! We are now about the enter the last 3 weeks !!!

Well, do you think people will agree that, yes, she really is doing enough?

Re: Bill Hillary Campaign for Obama (2.00 / 4)

the ones that still don't are hopeless in many ways that are polite to write. the clinton's have gone far and beyond what any other primary rival has ever done for the party nominee, and more than many a VP candidate.

The diehard Clinton haters will never be convinced.  You can't reason with the batshit crazy, tinfoil hat wing of the party.

Oh Yes! (2.00 / 7)

Hillary and Bill are so part of the team!

Anyone who thought different should hang their head in shame.  ;)

I am hanging my head in shame as I type this with one hand. The other hand is busy making a "you rock!" sign for Bill and Hillary.

Awesome (2.00 / 3)

It was obvious from those first joint rallies that Hillary was going to do everything she could for Obama.  I am thrilled that she was able to get Bill to come along with her.

HRC for Majority Leader!

HRC for Majority Leader (2.00 / 4)

...or Sec of HHS, or AG, or Supreme Court Justice, or...any damn thing she wants!

Best line in your post: (2.00 / 4)

They will also campaign for Senate & House democratic candidates across the country.

Now that polls are favorable, they're on to the next logical step...to help build an insurmountable majority that will undo what the GOP has wrought on America and the world for the past 28 years.

Hillary 2016!

Re: Bill & Hillary Launch Campaign (2.00 / 2)

It's funny that, while the Democratic A-Team is out for Obama, McCain can't even get the potential First Lady/Second Dude to campaign for him, much less any elder Republican statesmen.  Bush can't even do anything to help him.

Re: Bill & Hillary Launch Campaign (2.00 / 1)

Oh, dear Lord, PLEASE let Bush and Cheney come out and campaign...PLEEEEEEASE.

Re: Bill & Hillary Launch Campaign (none / 0)

Be fair - Bush would be a huge liability and everyone knows it.  If McCain wanted Bush out there, I'm sure he'd go.

Arkansas (none / 0)

I would SO love for Obama to pick up Arkansas.  I'm overjoyed to see that Hillary is campaigning there -- I'd like to see Bill hit it too.  

I've never been an enormous Clinton supporter (either one, actually), but I was hugely disappointed that neither Gore nor Kerry employed the Big Dog's charisma to any great effect.  If we win Arkansas, it's an epic landslide.  And I have hopes for Arkansas!

Bill and Hill (2.00 / 1)

I have an uneasy feeling about this.

Re: Bill and Hill (none / 0)

Why, because it doesn't fit your ill conceived mental image of who Bill and Hillary really are?

Really, it's time folks (all Clinton haters, not just this commenter) who tried their very best to denigrate the Clintons with every mudball they could sling  during the run up to the GE come to grips with reality: in the end, you got part of what you wanted (Obama) but you didn't get to destroy the Clintons and therefore failed partially in your efforts.

Move on, or become bizarro world mirror images of McCain supporters whenever the name "Clinton" is mentioned.

You get to choose your path.


Hell's bells, even the GOP didn't have to crucify Eisenhower's record in order to make Reagan their 'saint'. We can have two great ones, you know?

Re: Bill and Hill (none / 0)

It seems to me there is some cognitive dissonance on both sides of this argument.

Yes, it is very difficult for some to admit mistakes in judegment about folks who just happen to be not good but great Democrats.

Ohio (2.00 / 3)

They'll make a difference here, we've been hoping Obama would send them.

Bill brought out new voters in rural and suburban areas during both of his races.  He and Hillary will help Obama close the sale in Ohio.

Re: Bill & Hillary Launch Campaign (2.00 / 3)

Hillary  has never let me down, that's why I'm for her back.  She's helping Barack get elected, not just by her campaigning, but by her generosity.  She prepared her run for years, and she made all her stuff and staff and think-tank and day one plans available to him, and he's sane and centered enough to say, thanks, I can use all the help I can get.  Barack isn't going to be president on his lonesome, the isolation of the primary is behind him, he's now surrounded by everyone, helping win and helping get the job done.  


what a relief

Speaking of Arkansas (none / 0)

Did you see Senator Pryor try to talk religion in the Bill Maher's new movie, Religulous?

What a fool!

The man doesn't know the Bible (or he wouldn't agree with it) and can't talk religious issues even with Maher.

Scary!  Is this that uninformed about others issues?


Obama was for single payer before he came out against it.
by neaguy on Sun Oct 12, 2008 at 12:29:11 PM EST

Was there ... (none / 0)

ever a time when folks who actually understood and respected the Clintons expected less of them?

No.

Go Bill, Go Hillary, and Go Obama.

A perfect Trifecta.
