Former President Bill Clinton continued his cross-country campaign swing Sunday night to help the longest-serving member of Congress in his bid to hold onto his seat.

(snip)
“Michigan was good for me and I tried to be good for Michigan,” Clinton said. “John Dingell’s been good for you and he’s been good for you in the last year and a half, as he has in his entire career."

(snip)
“I’m not just here on a personal mission,” Clinton said. “I like all this enthusiasm, but frankly there are a few things about this election that have gotten me somewhere between disturbed and ticked off.”

Although, he said he doesn’t “do politics anymore,” he got involved in this election “because I saw the American people about to trigger a movie I have seen before,” a reference to the 1994 Republican takeover of the House of Representatives two years after Clinton was elected president.

2. I saw him in Detroit today

It was great to see him again. He was stumping for Virg Bernero at this afternoon's rally. I just wish we had had a better turnout.

media's Clinton meme.

7. I get so sick of that horse manure about 1994.

The Democrats lost the mid-terms because of the House Banking Scandal. A couple of hundred House members got caught kiting checks. Of that group the top two dozen violators were almost entirely Democrats.

The media narrative is a lie - it has always been lie - but its been told so often that everyone just seems to bUy it. Makes me crazy.

IT'S THE HOUSE BANKING SCANDALS IDIOTS.

8. There is always a reason.

The point is Democrats got crushed. This year the country is still trying to recover from the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. There is a foreclosure crisis, two wars, etc.

9. interestingly, after 1994...

Clinton's administration got a lot better on a lot of issues.

Just an observation...

12. I was hoping he would mention that whole "history is about to repeat itself" problem.

This is going to suck.
