Is former President Bill Clinton helping or hurting the presidential campaign of his wife, Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton? That question is being debated as thoroughly as the meaning of Bill Clinton’s sentences during the height of his impeachment, and TPMtv has a video roundup of the chatter.
Here are some excerpts, followed by the TPMtv video:
- “It’s a metabollic urge on his part. He’s an Olympic-class whiner.”
- “He has to be sent far away because he reinforces a direct threat. … He’s having a meltdown in every state.”
- “He’s a much better politician on behalf of himself than he is on behalf of anybody else.”
- If Hillary can’t control Bill now, what’s she going to do with him when she’s in the White House.”
- “She is a woman; she’s running for president; she’s running for head of the United States, chief executive officer. And she has to send her husband out to yell at the neighbors? … There’s something strange, jarring, unbecoming and even unfeminist about it.”

The candidate advertisements are coming almost daily now that the nation is in the thick of the presidential primary season. This is the first roundup installment of the latest ads. I’ll be posting them as warranted under the headline above, without any commentary from me.
Plenty of other Web sites offer analysis of the ads. I’ll just post them so AirCongress readers can see what the candidates have to say in their own words.

Pollsters, pundits and all manner of political observers were astounded yesterday when Hillary Clinton bested Barack Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination in New Hampshire. Now they’re trying to make sense of it all.
The Republican battle was less dramatic but no less momentous in that it vaulted John McCain back into contention for the nomination after many analysts had written him off during the summer. He defeated Mitt Romney.
Here’s some of the video chatter available online (more to be inserted as I find it):
Associated Press
John Fund of The Wall Street Journal
The Politico
Steve Clemons and Mark Schmitt of the New America Foundation

The presidential campaign of Barack Obama scored powerful visual points with this video of Susan Klopfer in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, switching her support to Obama from Hillary Clinton.
The reason for the switch, which is illustrated by Klopfer pulling a Clinton sign from her yard and replacing it with one for Obama: “I was really surprised to see personal attacks from one Democrat to the other Democrat. … The negative stuff, it just isn’t going to work.”
