Bill Clinton treks SD for Hillary
"The evidence is overwhelming," Bill said to more than 350 gathered around the front porch of a house in Wagner. "It's pretty clear who's doing the best."

<Besides all of the 'goal post moving issues', never mind that her campaign is in serious debt? :eyes: >

Bill Clinton spoke for more than an hour
<yak, yak, yak...pointing his finger and preaching to them as if they were children in his usual way? :crazy: >
and outlined - at times in great detail - four main reasons why those gathered should vote for his wife: she's more likely to beat Republican John McCain, better qualified to be commander in chief, won't just talk about change but actually make it happen, and can turn the economy around.

Clinton said his wife is the only candidate who has outlined specifically how she would accomplish her campaign goals.

"We have to go back to fiscal responsibility," he said.

<Interesting, and she is showing an example with her campaign HOW? :wow: >

My question...why is it that THE TWO HUGE PERSONALITIES of Hillary AND past President William Jefferson Clinton are campaigning against one man Barack, and they STILL can't get the clear nomination?

1. Bush Wants Bill to Help Him With His Free Trade Deal - No Really! He Does!
As his wife's chances of winning the Democratic presidential nomination dwindle, perhaps former president Bill Clinton still has a chance at a different White House role?

The current president suggested Friday that he might like to reach out to Bill Clinton for help in pitching trade deals with Colombia, Panama and South Korea that are going nowhere in the Democratic Congress.

After all, Bush noted in remarks on the South Lawn, Clinton "worked hard to open up markets," an apparent reference to his predecessor pushing through the North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA.

Later that day, Fox Business Network interviewer Neil Cavuto asked Bush about Clinton: "Would you ever invite him to say, 'Look, I'm having trouble pitching trade'?"

"Yes, I would," Bush replied.

2. "Fiscal responsibility"??? HRC campaign's deficit spending is as irresponsible as possible.
Bring on the clowns. . . .
Don't bother. They're here.

3. Bill Clinton stumping from a front porch
My have the mighty have fallen. :rofl:

Anyway, the answer to your question is they ran a bad campaign. Hillary assumed that it would be over with by Feb. 5. She also just thought of caucuses as something to 'go through the motions' about.

9. My thanks to the people who responded here yet I wonder
why Hillary's people couldn't answer the question. Is it something they just look past, THAT HILL AND BILL are two big names trying to take down Barack, and these two, HillBill, are STILL having such an awful problem accomplishing it?

Hillary is the strong competitor, she says...well, yea, while riding on the back of her ex-president husband?
