Clinton is campaigning for govenorships to position the Democrats to dominate the states in the 2004 elections

Having incumbent GOP governors in Michigan and Pennsylvania didn't do much for Dubya in 2000 (and it didn't help much in Florida). I think having a governor in place for a Prez election is nice, but it's not vital by any means.

Yes, you are right, it didn't help Bush, but that's because the Republicans don't use voter fraud and manipulated election laws. Who's to say what mischief the Demonrats could accomplish with all those Democrat govenorships.

It is when you're trying to institute fraud. If Jeb is not Gov of FL, Katherine Harris is not SoS, and Algore is President.
