The Big Dog's In The Hunt


If there's anyone that President Obama will owe a debt to, if Tuesday turns out as we hope, it's former President Bill Clinton. He's been a tireless and effective campaigner for Obama, making the case for four more years in ways that have sometimes eluded the President. Here's an excerpt from a report on Clinton's travels:
"Clinton campaigned for Obama on Thursday in Wisconsin and Ohio. Earlier in the week he was in Iowa, Colorado, Minnesota and New Hampshire.
He will join Obama on Saturday for a rally in Virginia and on Sunday morning for an event in New Hampshire. Clinton also will campaign Sunday in North Carolina and Minnesota. And on Monday, the Obama camp hopes Clinton will snuff out any possible Romney eruption in Pennsylvania, scheduling stops for him in Pittsburgh and Scranton, plus two in Philadelphia."
That's on top of five stops yesterday in Florida, a key swing state where Obama is slightly ahead. He's a force of nature, and without his active campaigning, we're not certain that Obama would be leading as he is in most of the critical swing states.
