NEW YORK - Bill Clinton said Monday he understands why Sarah Palin is popular in the heartland.
"I come from Arkansas, I get why she's hot out there," Clinton said. "Why she's doing well."
Speaking to reporters before his Clinton Global Initiative meeting, the former president described Palin's appeal by adding, "People look at her, and they say, 'All those kids. Something that happens in everybody's family. I'm glad she loves her daughter and she's not ashamed of her. Glad that girl's going around with her boyfriend. Glad they're going to get married."'
Clinton said voters would think, "I like that little Down syndrome kid. One of them lives down the street. They're wonderful children. They're wonderful people. And I like the idea that this guy does those long-distance races. Stayed in the race for 500 miles with a broken arm. My kind of guy."

Say whatever you will about Billy Jeff, he has forgotten more about the American voter than BHO and his minions will ever learn.
“I hope they can recover from this.”
Recover from Clinton’s near endorsement or the savage campaign against Gov Palin and her family ?
I suspect the Palins will do very well adjusting to the VP mansion on Mass Ave in DC and commutes to AK for the next, oh, 16 years.
WHOA, Holy buckets full of PUKE!! He said that?!!
Believe it or not, I think Slick really does admire the Palins. It is the dream marriage/family that he, deep down inside, wishes he had.
She’s more of a man than Bill and more of a woman than he’ll ever have!
What a joker.
Basically, he backhanded supported Palin and them tells the press he going a campaigning
They don't call him slickmiester for nothing
Okay, I’ll say whatever I want: Bill Clinton was a lousy candidate who barely beat George H W Bush and Bob Dole with a paid shill and the MSM pushing him across the finish line.
LOL!! Good laugh for this late afternoon of Kansas stress!!
But he has been close to the frigid tundra AKA Hillary
Bill loves women as much as Obama hates them.
My original tongue-in-cheek comment was referring to them "recovering" from The Slickster's adulation.
I totally agree they will have lots of family time at the Naval Observatory and the WH. Yee-haa!
“One of them lives down the street.”
WTF, what if he was referring to an AA? One of them?!!
Tis true, Cedric. During one of Todd Palin’s snow machine races, he broke his arm and stuck with the race. I believe he won that one, too.
I’m too lazy to research it now, but it’s been all aver the web when Sarah first entered the campaign.
oh mr clinton?..DROP DEAD!!!!!!!
Yeah, but she is hot.
Sounds like a roundabout way to make a pass at Palin. Give it up Bill. You ain’t no first dude, not now, not never.
So will Her Shrillness and their spawn, and Carville, and a whole host of others in the Clinton camp. Absolutely cannot have a Dem President for H to run against in '12. Last person to try that got his drunken, murdering fat arse handed to him by Jimmah.
No problem. Lots of FR ladies went gaga over Mitt’s appearance. Our turn.
