Clinton: Kerry Will have Only Narrow Win, Maybe

Ex-president Bill Clinton sounded confident on Monday when he told a Philadelphia crowd that John Kerry would win the White House and "make America the comeback country." But yesterday in Florida, the recuperating heart patient sounded a little less certain. "I think it is slightly more likely that he will win, but this thing is tight as a tick," Clinton told the Magazine Publishers of American gathering in Boca Raton.
One reason for the uncertainty: Dubya enjoys "negative campaigning" in a way his father, who Clinton defeated 12 years ago, never did.
"It was a pretty negative campaign, but I don't think he enjoyed it the way his son does," Clinton told the crowd, in quotes picked up by the New York Post.
He also said Bush's decision to call himself a "compassionate conservative" was the most brilliant slogan he had ever heard in politics.
As is usually the case with the ex-president, the topic soon turned to his own travails while in office; specifically the Marc Rich case.
"I was slimed," he said of the bad publicity garnered by his pardon of America's worst tax fugitive.
"Maybe I should have pardoned him two years before I left office so I would have had a chance to fight back," he added.

Clinton's tepid endorsement of Kerry despite his wife's ambition, tells me they are pretty sure Kerry is toast in this election. The Clintoons don't want Kerry to win because Hillary wants to run in 2008.

Negative campaigning requires proper, justified contempt for the adversary. That's something the rats will never have.

Who wants to place bets that once in the privacy of the voting booth, Clinton will vote for W?

I believe Tony Snow told O'Reilly last night that Kerry was conceding Florida and was going to focus on Ohio and Pennsylvania. The Kerry camp denied it and claim Kerry is scheduled to return to the state. (You can read about it on the Kerry Spot). Either way, based on the crowds, I tend to believe Bush is stronger in Florida than the polls show.

Slick Willy is trying to avoid looking stupid when Bush wins on Tuesday.
I'm sure his comments make Kerry feel very confident...ha ha.

"I was slimed... correction
"I am slime".
Why can't you and Jimmy Carter just go away? You are major embarrassments for this country, Carter for incompetence while in office and anti-Americanism after, and you for malfeasance and perversion while in office. I can only imagine the degeneration you will inflict on us if you continue to seek an open mike from an enthralled MSM.

Exactly. I think Clinton knows that Kerry is going to lose and Clinton only went out there with Kerry to get back his daily dose of ego boosting (cause he's been out of the limelight for so long - he must be drying up!). It was all for him and not for Kerry. I swear he's doing a lackluster jobs so Kerry will lose and Hillary will be able to run in 2008. Its sooo dam obvious!
