Bill Clinton Campaigns for Hillary Clinton in Chicago on Election Day

(The Bernie folks in GD-P are up in arms again because they think Bill is breaking the law)

Former President Bill Clinton stopped by a polling place on Chicago's South Side Tuesday morning to speak with voters on Illinois' primary Election Day.

"I want to help stir up voter interest, get the biggest possible turnout," Clinton said after shaking hands and posing for photos outside Beulah Shoesmith Elementary School in the Hyde Park neighborhood.

When asked if he is worried about a repeat of Michigan's outcome, he said no.

"I mean in Michigan, we always knew it was gonna be close and we made a decision to try to make sure we did as well as we could," he said. "Hillary spent a lot of time in Michigan just trying to help Flint. She wound up spending relatively less time campaigning and we worked hard in Mississippi and got a great 66 point victory down there, the biggest one of the election."

The former President also made a stop earlier in the Austin neighborhood on the West Side, greeting young chidren and voters flanked by Congressman Danny K. Davis as well as Attorney General Lisa Madigan.

1. The cognitive dissonance

on GD-P is amazing. After trying to complain about this in Massachusetts and been told unequivocally that what President Clinton did was not illegal, they've now done it again. Who knew that Bernie supporters overlapped so consistently with election law experts on a state by state basis.

They know exactly what is and is not illegal, more so than the Attorney General of Massachusetts, and in this case the Cook County Board President. We're so fortunate to have this many election law experts on the DU board. Who knew?

2. Hillary went to some polls in North Carolina...

and that has them in a tizzy too. One guy keeps plugging in some non-relevant piece of the election code over and over, as if that will change that she's not doing anything illegal.

He keeps insisting that Hillary is obstructing voting.

3. Interesting to hear him say what I suspected...that the time she spent in MI was more about

helping Flint and less about working on the campaign there...

4. I thought that was interesting, too.
