I think I know how we can use Bill Clinton in this campaign

[bluestateguy]

A week before the 2004 election John Kerry held an outdoor rally in Philadelphia with Bill Clinton--less than 2 months out of heart surgery--and over 100,000 people showed up. Kerry won Pennsylvania on whopping margins in Philadelphia and winning in 3 of the 4 suburban counties.

Before Barack Obama came along, nobody could turn out a crowd like Bill Clinton. Well, Clinton can still turn out a mighty impressive crowd. Now imagine what Bill Clinton AND Obama could turn out at a rally with both of them.

I'm thinking that this could be replicated, an Obama-Bill Clinton rally the last week of the election, perhaps in Ohio, either in Columbus or Cleveland.

2. It would be nice to see the two big dogs together

In Ohio, I think it would be a tremendous reminder of the ecomonic good times people experienced with Bubba.

3. I think with all the bad news coming out about Lehman,

Bill Clinton will be a real asset.

4. Bill and Hill need to step up to the plate and play hardball.

They owe this country. We don't deserve another 4 years of madness because of their pride.

Come on now. Bill and Hillary will be on onboard.
