Bill to Hollywood: "We Must Support Barack."
This item was found in Rush & Molloy's Gossip Column from today's N.Y. Daily News:

Bill Clinton came to Hollywood for Thursday's American Film Institute gala to pay tribute to Warren Beatty, but the former President didn't miss the chance to play peacemaker among warring Democrats. While Clinton commiserated with Hillary-backers like Jack Nicholson, he also reached out to Obama-backers, like vicious Clinton-basher David Geffen. Said WJC to Beatty: "We all have to get behind Barack now."


For anyone questioning the Clintons' dedication to the General Election, this indicates Bill and Hillary will go all out to support Obama in November.

2. a "gossip column" is a source? Not saying they aren't supporting them but I question this as a
"source".

3. Clintons talking to Dem audiences is one thing - - we know the other side now, and
that side was working against Dems in 2004:

Backstabbing Kerry:

Supporting and defending Bush throughout the summer2004 booktour:
http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/06/19/clinton.iraq/

Sabotaging Ohio Dem voters on election night:

We know this side of them now. What Bill will say in private gatherings of Democrats is not what Bill will say on Larry King Live where he would most often support Bush and defend his decisions.

I expect a "show" of unity and support from the Clintons - a dog and pony show....as usual.
