Great moments in campaigning history.

Hmmm. Looks like Bill had his own statement on bitterness in his first presidential campaign.

"You know, he wants to divide us over race. I'm from the South. I understand this. This quota deal they're gonna pull in the next election is the same old scam they've been pulling on us for decade after decade after decade. When their economic policies fail, when the country's coming apart rather than coming together, what do they do? They find the most economically insecure white men and scare the living daylights out of them. They know if they can keep us looking at each other across a racial divide, if I can look at Bobby Rush and think, Bobby wants my job, my promotion, then neither of us can look at George Bush and say, 'What happened to everybody's job? What happened to everybody's income? What ... have ... you ... done ... to ... our ... country?"

Now that you mention it, you're right, Bill! They do pull that same old scam!

Meanwhile, Bill decides to help his wife capture a few young voters for his wife:

Instead of being an asset, it looks like Bill has been a serious liability to his wife's campaign. He seems to have lost his charm in the luggage, and his famed slickness seems to have been replaced by a repellent "bitterness."

Yes, let's talk about those poor bitter candidates in Pennsylvania losing a nomination they considered all but theirs.
