LITTLE ROCK, Oct. 31 -- In a campaign stop befitting a rock star, with strobe lights and music and screaming, the Comeback Kid came home today with one message: Make Arkansas a Comeback State to the roster of blue Democrat states.

"We've got two days here, and we can win here," said former president Bill Clinton, who has been campaigning for Democratic presidential candidate John F. Kerry since last Monday. "It's not too late; we can move this thing," the former governor told a crowd of about 6,200 people gathered in the city's convention center for a get-out-the-vote rally

Clinton, who is noticeably thinner almost two months into his recuperation from quadruple heart bypass surgery, urged the throng to vote. He implored them to persuade those who "are reluctant to change leaders while we're involved in this mess in Iraq" to cast a ballot for Kerry.
