He's Back! - Bill Clinton gives his wife's campaign new momentum as he seizes a bigger role

Excerpt -

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.

How much more of our national security do you want sold to the chicoms? Obama is a neophyte some of the senators from his own party would keep a leash on him. I also think McCain can beat him. Too many here have forgotten about those 8 long years.

Let me get this straight. You can't even type the English language, but I'm stupid?

If you actually WANT a Democrat to win in November, take your pick. Personally, I would have picked another nominee, but I want McCain to win. Obama CAN'T win in November, but Hillary can STEAL it.

If Rasputin was Hillary’s campaign, he’d STILL be alive.

I agree with you both. I am a very long time anti-Clinton
lurker, I found and cherished this site because of the links to news not found in the MSM. I was only able to sign up recently. I am shocked by the hissing and threats leveled against anyone who doesn't tow the Rush line. I suppose he's more gas than anything , reading the polls and then taking credit for the outcome, however it's infuriating nonetheless and he's seems to have brought chaos to the wrong party ,unless that's his intent. I got news for some of these hissers, whoever wins in November , Rush is still going to be on the air , he's still going to be making millions and he's not going to be sharing any of it with any of them.

Interesting article. It seems like Billy Bubba is back on his game politically. He can help Hillary keep her defeat in NC to a minimum. She’s going to lose but he can head off a “slaughter”.

he is an empty suit that can't win in November...

I wish I was a sure of that as you are. I loathe the Clintons but better the devil you know than the devil you don't.

Even IF Obama could win, he can’t get anything done. The Clintons not only know every in and out of DC, but have everybody wrapped around their finger through previous political/cash favors/dirt, or, if all else fails, their FBI file.

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

I agree. Seeing how damaging and powerful a reverend Wright ad can be by the NC republican party should be plenty enough reason for Rush to have his operation chaos vote against Hillary from here on out. Not working to get rid of Hillary has always been foolish in my opinion.

Now.... If only the republicans had a candidate wise enough to exploit such weaknesses....

Is Hillary Preparing to Run in 2012?

Another 4, 8 or 16 years of the *Crinton crime family? Oh, joy...

His show has turned into nothing but rants about McCain and Obama and clips from news shows where his name was mentioned. If he gave a damn about anything but inflating his ego he would turn this thing around and help finish off the Clinton's.

More joy when one thinks of adding Chelseeeee to the mix. Crime family that will be in office (WH) for the first half of the 21st century. Chelseeeee's babies are in the on-deck circle.

And Brain Dead Americans (Including Rush) are loven it.

"Seeing how damaging and powerful a reverend Wright ad can be by the NC republican party should be plenty enough reason for Rush to have his operation chaos vote against Hillary from here on out."

When knocking Rush, you should keep in mind that he frequently states that one of the Operation's major goals in keeping Hillary alive is to get the Dem candidates to bring up negatives about the other candidate (friends, issues, problems) that Republicans could not do without taking a hit from the media and losing the votes of the uninformed. Not to deny the risk, but keeping Hillary alive is producing just such a result.

Those of us with two brain cells to rub together get that conservatives don’t riot.

Certainly a Truism we can't see often enough....that said, you may want to admit that McCain opens doors to independents, union thugs (who like his boorish 'style'), and other miscreants (think LaRaza). The RNC convention this year MAY get as 'interesting' as the DNC convention! Certainly Soros (and Rendell) will pay plane fares for their paid thugs to show up! ALL depends on the VP nominee (who will shed a bright light on the agenda).

He’s not back. They just sent him to existing strongholds where he could do no harm.
