I give Bill Clinton credit
If Hillary loses NC - by a small or big margin - it won't be due to a lack of effort on his part. He has been a machine here in the last few days. By the end of today, I bet he'll have visited close to 50 small NC towns over the last week.

That said, GOBAMA! :)

2. I hope I have that energy when I am his age.
He is looking really good and healthy too. I am grateful for that. The people in the crowds seem to be loving the chance to see him. I wish they were campaigning here in Michigan. I would love to see any of them!

3. He does still have the piss and vinegar doesn't he?
I worried about him after his heart surgery, but hee looks good. Somewhat whiter hair though.

4. He was always a great campaigner.
I hope he will do the same for candidates besides his wife again in the future.

5. Bill is a hard worker. It is amazing Obama is beating the Bill and Hill team...
It truly is... The Clinton team is tough. I have to give them that.

6. People love him but they don't want him back in the White House.
Its a two edged sword. His constant campgaign presence is a reminder that he would be back in the WH, and as much as the Democratic party appreciates him, I don't think most people would elect him again... or want to get him as part of the package.

7. yah, it is too bad. The scandals that follow his name are too big.
If it werent for that I think Hillary would be further ahead in this process.

I think that is why Bill wants back in the WH so bad, to clear his name. He was a good pres. Especially when you are comparing him to the one we have now.

13. But the scandals like NAFTA are only being realized now.
The other stuff is pigeon poop.

10. Yeah
It would have been nice for him to have done that in 2004 for Kerry and in 2006 for democratic candidates for congress.

12. I think in the long run he has hurt her, not helped her.
I think the big story about this election will be the demise of the Clinton's

14. Turnout efforts appear to have been going really well for Obama here in Charlotte

But I do not underestimate the power of Bill on the BBQ circuit. Guess we will know tomorrow.
