HILLSBOROUGH, N.C. -- Bill Clinton, who called himself the "comeback kid" during his first presidential run, is pulling out all the stops for Hillary Clinton's comeback.

His relentless approach to battling Barack Obama -- on the trail and inside the campaign -- is becoming key to Sen. Clinton's newfound success, as she has won four of the last six primaries. She still faces long odds in her quest to overtake Sen. Obama on the road to the Democratic Party's nomination.

Dubbed the "Billification" of Sen. Clinton's campaign by some insiders, Mr. Clinton has become something of a strategist-in-chief in recent weeks. He has been pushing for harder and sharper attacks on Sen. Obama. While she has jabbed her opponent over his "elitist" tone and controversial statements by his former pastor, Mr. Clinton delivers his own slams on the stump, calling Obama ads misleading.

She should have been gone in Texas.

[MovementConservative]

Savage him Bill. You didn’t gain all that power and the nickname slick willie by accident. Heck you’ve been dispatching guys like Obama since he was in diapers.

[Patrick1]

The old reprobate is right. Obama is an empty suit, the slightest attack and he deflates. It is too late for Clinton but not for McCain if he gets out of this Mr. Nice guy routine.

Bill’s message to OBAMA:

“I am the Bitter, Small-town, Gun-Clinging Typical White Person I have been waiting for...”

[Henchster]

"She should have been gone in Texas."

She would have been, except some fat idiot on the radio advocated keeping her in the race.

I, on the other hand, have advocated crossing over for OBAMA from day one, knowing he is an empty suit that can't win in November, and that the Clinton vote fraud machine is the most dangerous thing on the planet.

When Hillary is crowned in January, I hope everybody deletes Rush's station from their radio.

[Aria]

Operation Chaos operatives could end up hugely sorry - it’s a BIG risk.

[BerryDingle]

That would be funny if it wasn’t true, he probably would have killed Dick Morris on the Ark. kitchen floor if Hillary hadn’t pulled him of the toe sucker.

[potlatch]

But the ‘crossovers’ and hispanics kept her in.

Bubba was down at the town square on the back of a pickup truck giving his spiel.

[Aria]

I voted for Obama also. Hillary is like Rasputin.....or a cockroach ....too evil to just die.

[mimaw]

I crossed over in Wi and voted for him. The Clintons will stop at nothing and Rush's Chaos put them back in the running. I listened up till this week to see if he'd get the troops to do the right thing in Indiana and when he didn't I turned him off and will never tune him in again. He makes me so damn angry. His hatred of McCain will give us those two clowns back in the WH. How much more of our national security will be sold out for their personal wealth and political power. He should go back on drugs he made more sense than. No wonder the stubborn idiot has gone through 3 wives.

[mimaw]

Don't for a moment think it's too late for the Clintons.

[pankot]

He’s proving a lot—#1 That he’s a jackass and always will be; #2 He can’t wait to get back in the Whitehouse and begin the payback to his enemies; #3 He can’t wait to get his hands on all those juicy new interns while the old lady is busy being President.

[BARLF]

I get the sick feeling Bill Clinton will get his third term.

How people that lived through the Clinton's eight year reign forget what they did to this country I'll never understand.

[getitright]

Thanks for revealing the “fat guy on the radio” thing.

We know who Henchster is now.

Rush’s role is perfect. At least for America. Maybe someday you will learn it’s greatness. I prescribe for you a healthy dose of Dinesh D’Souza.

You seem like a troll who might be dolt enough to buy that Rush is urging HIS listeners to riot. Those of us with two brain cells to rub together get that conservatives don’t riot.

Be warned though. He will steal from you your ignorance. Intelligence, honesty and morality are not so bad once you get educated. TRY IT! I think you’ll like it.

I believe in you. I know that you can become a wise and good person.

[fkabuckeyesrule]

If Hillary were smart she’d get those Clinton donors to buy Billy a ship or something and send him sailing for about a year or so.

[mojo114]

Who are you? You haven’t created a home page. You haven’t written on any thread other than bash Rush. Think you are a troll and I would like very much for a Zot.

[mimaw]

I'm not a mind numbed robot. I've written on many threads. I can't take 8 more years of the Clintons.

[babygene]

“I, on the other hand, have advocated crossing over for OBAMA from day one”

Well, your stupid then... It’s McCain who can’t win in November. Vote for the Democrat in the primary that would want to be president. For me, that would be Clinton over Obama/Osama!

[HAL9000]

I can't take 8 more years of the Clintons.

Dittos on that.
