What is going to happen when Bill Clinton starts barnstorming?

[frank frankly]

Is the US of A ready for the Big Dog again?

I'll betcha most citizens are going to remember $$$$ when they see Clinton back in the spotlight!

Will Clinton barstorm for Kerry?

What would it be like?

I'm excited because I haven't seen this asked here recently!

Go Big Dog!

[frank frankly]

1. Clinton will bring out enthusiastic supporters everywhere

Compare that to Shrub's rare and security rich PR stunts. People hate Bush and damn is he making Clinton look good!

2. the Texas Souffle' goes pfffft

[frank frankly]

4. hell yes!

The Big Dog has kept a very very low profile the last four years. Look for his smiling Slick Willie self come back into American's heart. To see him now, surrounded by Reagan/Bush & Shrub, he looks like the genius he was. Correction: the slick genius.

Come on Big Dog!

(and be progressive, okay?)

3. His book will remind people presidents can be literate

Can win a war without a single American death, can earn the respect of leaders and citizens around the world, can eliminate huge Bush deficits...

5. he is a great campaigner

but I question if he really adds many votes. He campaigned enthusiastically for democratic candidates in 2002 and in the California recall and it didn't seem to make much difference. You also have to target where he goes--before labor, African-American and loyal democratic audiences fine--but he can be a drawback with independent swing voters and southern voters.

6. Say what you will about Clinton , his charm

..his intelligence and his campaigning ability. Alas, too many people will remember him for only a modest rise in the minimum wage and little improvement in their lives even as the dotcom bubble grew and burst and tne multimillionaires turned into billionaires.

Yes, Clinton will remind folks what a real president sounded like. He will also remind them of what business as usual meant for the average working person, and I doubt he'll energize many of them.

The Clinton presidency saw the greatest increase in wealth disparity this country had seen until then. That will haunt him, and that will make the GOP tool Nader look even better to the seriously alienated.

Kerry should be begging Dean and Kucinich and Edwards to do his campaigning. Only by keeping the economic heat on Bush will he win.
Clinton can't do it.

7. The extent to and manner in which, the Kerry campaign

uses "Big Dog" will say much about their approach (cautious, aggressive, middle-of-the-road). I think that it would be a mistake to ignore the former President, although using him carefully may be in order... we shall see what the Kerry folks think.

[frank frankly]

8. good point

and we'll see how awful the economy is by september 2004...

my bet: it will be terrible and getting scary!

[madrchsod]

9. rush will explode

and hannity and annie will mutually orgamizm themselves to death.

[frank frankly]

10. so what? they are the fringe and let's send them back to the fringe!

make them froth at the mouth about a blowjob while people are scared for the state of the civilized world...

i know you were joking, so no offense. i would really like to see rush explode. i don't however want to picture any of them related to sex. ugh.
