Clinton: GOP banking on 'yesterday's America' showing up Election Day

BALTIMORE – Former President Bill Clinton singled out Karl Rove and the "secret committees" for causing a "crazy food fight" that’s confusing voters during a rally for Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley (D).
"They're banking on you not thinking," the former president said at the event on Federal Hill. "They're banking on some people being so mad that facts don’t matter."
The Republicans' "only hope," Clinton said, "is that on Election Day in 12 days, tomorrow's America, the America that showed up in 2008, will stay home. And yesterday's America will show up and people will be so mad, it won’t be like sports, we won't be thinking, the facts won't have nothing to do with it."
"Show up, claim your future, keep your governor," said Clinton, whose voice was often hoarse. The Baltimore rally was his third campaign stop after starting his day with events in Florida for Democrat Alex Sink and in North Carolina for Rep. Heath Shuler (D-N.C.).
Clinton has emerged as a weapon for the Democratic Party as it tries to hold on to majorities in the House and Senate and prevent Republicans from winning gubernatorial contests across the country.
