Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign set to get a boost from Bill [hillary group]
This really is old news--but I am glad to see the Big Dawg out there for Hillary. It is time. I know he is controversial and we will hear the blue dress from the RW --and others! but in the long run, it is ok by me. IMHO

Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign set to get a boost from Bill
By LISA LERER | Posted 7 hours ago
NEW YORK (AP) — After largely staying in the background this summer as Hillary Rodham Clinton kicked off her second campaign for president, former President Bill Clinton is ready to take on a more active and public role in his wife's second bid for the White House.
Bill Clinton's move to deepen the political involvement in his wife's 2016 effort comes as she continues to confront the insurgent campaign of Vermont independent Sen. Bernie Sanders and the chance that Vice President Joe Biden could make a late entry into the race. Friends and former aides say the former president is eager to become a more vocal advocate for her candidacy.
"He's going to be very active," said Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, a longtime Clinton confidant. "He always intended to come out and support his wife. He's now at the point that he's ready to get out there."

The events will follow a weekend in which he aired a forceful defense of his wife, arguing that she faces the same kind of partisan attacks over her use of a private email account and server while serving as secretary of state that plagued his 1992 campaign and his administration.
"This is just something that has been a regular feature of all of our presidential campaigns, except in 2008 for unique reasons," Bill Clinton said in a Sunday interview with CNN. "We're seeing history repeat itself. And I actually am amazed that she's borne up under it as well as she has."
Though he logged thousands of miles to campaign for Democrats in the 2014 midterm elections, Bill Clinton has yet to be a visible part of his wife's campaign. Though longtime Clinton backers consider the former president one of her strongest advocates, campaign aides worried his presence early on during the campaign could undermine their efforts to reintroduce Hillary Clinton to voters.
"People love President Clinton up here. They love Hillary Clinton," said Mike Vlacich, Clinton's New Hampshire state director. "There's going to be good opportunities for him to support her, but the focus has been on Hillary and the people she's fighting for."............
