Clinton Talks About Running for President Again, Also

Hillary Clinton stated that her chances of running for president again are, "close to zero". Clinton has also stated that she is not planning on being a supreme court justice. Clinton is actively campaigning for Senator Obama and is confident that the Democratic Party will have a largely successful election in all aspects, stating "I think the mood in the country...points  to a big victory for the Democrats." Clinton also denied any interest in being the democratic senate leader. Her actions during the election show that Clinton is a truly dedicated democrat and cares more about party advancement than individual advancement.

Clintons team up in Pennsylvania

Both Bill and Hillary Clinton have continued to throw their support behind Barack Obama and his running mate Joe Biden.  The Clintons appeared together for the first time to support Obama. The Clintons joined with vice-presidential candidate Joe Biden to speak at a rally in Pennsylvania. Hillary Clinton, Obama's former opponent, has been constantly endorsing Obama appearing at approximately 50 campaign events.  She also showed her strong opposition to allowing another republican into the White House stating "I haven't spent 35 years in the trenches fighting for universal health car, for children, for families, for women, for middle-class people to see another Republican in the White House squander the promise of our nation and the hopes of our people".  Although Bill initially promoted Hillary to the job of vice president, he believed that "Barack Obama could not have made a better choice" in choosing Joe Biden.  

After a brief speech in Pennsylvania, Bill Clinton headed out to Virginia to continue campaigning for the democratic candidate. Speaking to over 4,000 at Virginia Commonwealth University, Clinton praised Obama's plans for the economy and health care.  Bill's speach also marked the begginning of the presidential campaigning in Virginia as McCain and Palin plan to visit Virginia this monday.  

Over the last two weeks, Hillary Clinton has dramatically stepped up her support for Democratic candidate Barack Obama.  Spending time in locations from Michigan to New Hampshire, Clinton has focused on debunking the perception that those who believe in the need for greater gender equality should vote for the McCain-Palin ticket.  While lauding the accomplishment of having a woman VP candidate, Hillary prompted the audience at a firefighters memorial to think about who would be a better choice to protect their families, evoking memories of her February "3 am red phone" ad, in which she effectively impugned Obama's experience and know-how with the regard to foreign affairs.

However, Hillary has seemingly put these intra-party squabbles behind her to focus on seating a Democrat in the Whitehouse.  In fact, the USA Today reported that she has raised over 8 million dollars for Obama since July.  And while this figure may seem like pocket change coming on the heels of the 700 billion bailout, it affirms Hillary's commitment to pass the baton of her constituency on to the Democratic ticket.

Hillary says that McCain is just "more of the same"

Hillary Clinton, who recently spoke on behalf of Joe Biden at a Human Rights Campaign, gave a speech that she said was prepared by Senator Biden. The speech made many comparisons between the current President and the man Clinton hopes will not be the future one. Clinton said tha McCain was, "Not a maverick. He's a mimic." Clinton's comparisons attacked McCain on many issues where he holds a more orthodox point of view. Clinton also said that the nation now had a choice to decide between more "small minded governance" or "securing equality and dignity for all Americans". Although called backwards looking, Clinton did not hesitate to compare McCain and his policies to those of the Bush administration. Clinton has become a very vital part of the Obama campaign since her loss in the race for the Democratic nomination. She has worked hard to rally her supporters for Obama and has raised over eight million dollars for his campaign. Clinton said that "We have a lot to repair in America, and I believe that Democratic leadership is essential to fixing the damage that we are going to inherit." Clinton is going to continue to attend rallies for Obama throughout the country in the remaining month before the election.

Bill says Obama "has better answers"

On Wednesday October 1, Bill Clinton arrived in the swing state of Florida to speak at the University of Central Florida on behalf of presidential candidate Barack Obama.  Although Clinton began by discussing the current financial issues in which the country is entrenched, he continued on to support Obama's presidential campaign.  Clinton told thousands in the crowd that they should support Obama because he has "Better answers for the economy, for energy, for health care, for education."  Clinton continued to praise Obama for his willingness to speak with himself and other economical advisers for ideas concerning the financial crisis.  He even praised Obama's running mate Joe Biden for his understanding of economics and securities.

While Bill Clinton has become more involved with the presidential race, Hilary Clinton seems to be avoiding it.  Instead, Hilary has devoted some of her time to supporting fellow democrat Rick Noriega.  Hilary Clinton appeared today at a fundraiser in  in order to endorse the possible Senate Democrat from Texas.  Whether Hilary Clinton will become more involved with the presidential race is yet to be seen but as of now seems doubtful.

On Sunday September 28, former president Bill Clinton appeared on the liberal Daily Show, hosted by Jon Stewart and aired by Comedy Central.  As much of the conversation centered on the recent economic upheavals, Clinton had many opportunities to take pot-shots at the current administration as well as the McCain campaign.  However, in contrast to the tonal turn that the presidential campaign has taken recently, Clinton chose to concentrate instead on policies that he believes need to be implemented to help the struggling economy.  Clinton advocated more stringent regulations in the lending market as a condition of the 700 billion dollar economic bailout, which ultimately failed to pass today.  Later, when prompted by Stewart to speak about what his own candidacy would be like, Clinton demurred, instead electing to throw his support behind Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.  His endorsement marked the latest push by the Clinton camp to put the messy primary race in the past and concentrate on putting a Democrat in the Whitehouse.  Whether it will be enough remains to be seen.

Possible Actual Occurrence of SNL Satire Cancelled 

Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin nearly had the epic meeting/battle that was foreshadowed by SNL's skit on saturday night. Clinton was scheduled to speak at a rally in New York protesting the Iranian President Ahmadinejad. Clinton was, to say the least, shocked when she discovered that Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin would also be attending the event. Clinton aides immediately cancelled the Senator's scheduled appearance citing the fact that the rally was "...never billed to us as a partisan political event."  It seems as though those of us eagerly awaiting the possibly "explosive" meeting between these two will have to wait a little while longer.
