Hillary and Bill Continue Support

Recently it's been more of the same for the Clinton duo. Both Hillary and Bill have give numerous speeches supporting the Democratic ticket of Obama and Biden. In doing so, they have both emphasized that a fundamental change in leadership is necessary to turn the economy around. On Monday the 20th, Hillary plans to stump for Obama in Palm Beach Florida, the site of the most controversial electoral battle in United States history in 2000. This stop is especially important because Florida is still universally seen as a battleground state, remaining the subject of fierce party contention. Minnesota, another battleground state, is scheduled to be visited by Hillary, as well as Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, on Tuesday.

As evidenced by the Clintons' persistence in campaigning for the Obama/Biden ticket at events scheduled or not, the Democratic party in general is not taking its foot off the gas even though Obama is clearly polling ahead of McCain. With the ever worsening economic climate, Obama needs someone with the political track-record of either Bill of Hillary Clinton to lend him credibility, and that is just what they are doing. This weekend, their contributions were bolstered by Colin Powell's official endorsement of Barack Obama. This endorsement is key because, it brings an air of legitimacy in the area of foreign policy and military matters, issues that are for the most part, Republican dominated.
