Bill Clinton Urges Arkansans Not To Use Midterm Vote As Protest Against Obama

I DID say it was great that the Clintons were out there - and even said that HRC would deserve the credit she will get for doing so.

Where I have a problem is with her (and Panetta's ) deciding it was a good idea to stab Obama in the back even before the Midterm. My point was threefold there:
1) It is not helpful to Democrats to intentionally lower the President's support by splintering the party now. (That is MY opinion.)

2) It is not helpful in terms of foreign policy to do anything that could make it even tougher for Obama to pull anything off to make things better --- and negative American press and lower support here. Obviously at some point Clinton would need to make her differences known, but was this a good time?

3) I question ultimately if this is even good policy for Clinton. She can't both run on having been SOS and say that she had no role in most big decisions.

As to Pryor, the race has seesawed back and forth - and though it is now Cotton, there is still some chance for Pryor to pull it out -- even using the fact that AR is actually better off given they HAVE ACA with the Medicaid expansion. As to their relative popularity, Clinton is the home town boy and AR is a pretty racist state.
