but he could heap a little more personal praise and confidence in Obama.

Doing that would not stir up any negative emotions, turn off any independents, nor would it take any shine off of Bill, or make him any less of an elder statesman.

He doesn't have to go in the tank or any such thing. Just express confidence in Obama as a person, a leader, a Democrat, and an American.
I can see the point of killing them with kindness but a little love our way would help and certainly do no harm.
I'm not trying to beat up on Clinton at all but there's not a logical explanation of praising McCain at every turn and going with I think he'll win when speaking about Barack.

I hate the Patriots but I've predicted them to win quite a few times over the past few years. I'm not saying that Clinton isn't behind Obama but saying you think he'll come out ahead isn't going to move any mountains, nor does it indicate any level of support but rather an assessment of situation.
