Bill Clinton: Wife's record not covered
By PHILIP ELLIOTT, Associated Press Writer 15 minutes ago
Bill Clinton said Tuesday that if reporters covered the candidates' public records better, his wife's presidential bid would be far ahead of her rivals.
During a campaign stop on behalf of his wife, New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, the former president said he can't understand why so much of the media coverage of the campaign ignores her experience and, without naming him, the relative lack of experience of her closest Democratic rival, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama.
"One percent of the press coverage was devoted to their record in public life. No wonder people think experience is irrelevant. A lot of the people covering the race think it is (irrelevant)," Clinton said to students at Keene State College.
Clinton referenced a study from the Project for Excellence in Journalism that indicated much of the coverage of the race is dominated by daily horse race reporting rather than about policy issues.
"Sixty-seven percent of the coverage is pure politics. That stuff has a half life of about 15 seconds. It won't matter tomorrow. It is very vulnerable to being slanted and rude. And it won't affect your life," Clinton said.
Clinton also said his wife's bipartisan work in the Senate proves she can accomplish her campaign's message of change, and that records matter more than rhetoric. He said that when voters look at records and accomplishments, they will see clear choices between the New York senator and her rivals.
"I would pick her and be here if we weren't married," Clinton said.

There is one to many commas in the above sentence. According to Hillary it should read ...
"During a campaign stop on behalf of his wife, New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton the former president ..."
Well, geeze, Bubba, whyn't ya just release her records of the WH years like we've asked then???
Altogether now, say:
Why does BillyJeff continue to ignore and refuses to elaborate his wife’s record of experience?
“Bill Clinton: Wife’s record not covered”
Hey, Willie, you can’t cover something that never existed!
Well, she’s experienced decorating the white house Christmas tree with voodoo trinkets she picked up in Haiti while at the dictator’s (The Dictator that Billy boy propped up and replaced Haiti’s legitimate government with) baby roast he put on in their honor.
Nobody, but Nobody with even an ounce of brains really believes ANYTHING either one of the Clintoons says about ANYTHING...they have consistantly and constantly lied about EVERYTHING since entering public life !!!!! What an evil pair !!!!
I always figured that was always just an excuse to make a McDonald's run behind Hillary's back.
Excellent point young lad! I was wondering about that too!
Hillary pardoned terrorists(FALN) to pander to the Puerto Rican vote.
Hillary participated in pardoning Marc Rich to curry donations for the Clinton library which is currently holding documents dealing with “experience” in the White House.
Hillary also has experience with pardons through her brothers.
What’s this?....the Bubba two-step?
Maybe those aren’t cankels, maybe Sandy showed her how to stuff records in her socks.
Experience in bitchery (new word), brow beating, blackmail, and general meanness.
Hillary will be be a subordinate of Bill when it comes to push and shove.
Decisions are based on opinion polls.
Lamps come flying during sessions.
Affairs will blossom again, and so do sleep overs for the deserving ones.
Besides passing military secrets to China for campaign contributions, undoubtedly there will be another round of pardons for big monies to Hillary and Bill as well as their brothers who continue to remain needy.
Thanks...for the young part ;-)
I think you are 100% on the money here.
Perhaps someone here could enlighten me and the rest of the free world.
Has Senator Clinton ever authored a bill? I don’t mean sponsoring or co-sponsoring. I know, I know, but has her staff ever authored a bill? Has anything with the Clinton name attached passed congress in the last 8 years?
More Clintonian BS, and lord, does it smell bad.
>>I would pick her and be here if we werent married, Clinton said.
>Doubtful, Bill. I think youd be hiding in the hills of Bolivia with a few Hooters girls before you endorsed the candidacy of someone like Hillary.
Hey, you never know. If Bill was having a really slow bedroom week, and he happened to be in the vicinity, and the hotel was close, and if he couldn’t find another hottie in the crowd, and if she had to promise him something to get him there, and (especially) if they weren’t married to each other, then why not?
One man, one woman, one night.
Kind of like what Hugo Chavez wants: one man, one vote, one time.
Guess this is why s/he won’t make their records public !
