Bill Clinton is extremely important in this election

52% of people are very or somewhat interested in Bill Clinton's speech in the Democratic Convention, compared to 51% in President Obama's speech.
I find this statistic amazing.

This shows Bill's reputation as a very good President will doubtlessly bolster Obama's chances this year.

This is from a Pew survey.

his support of Obama now is fantastic.
BUT
he is smart
and the only way Hillary can win in 2016 is with the 100% PUBLIC support on and off the trail, for Obama to campaign for Hillary in 2016.

So the Clinton's most certainly need Obama's voters, just as much as Obama needs the Clinton's.And to make sure Obama's voters don't sit it out in 2016 like they did in 2010.

lessons learned (same Al Gore should have used Bill in 2000 and maybe won Arkansas or Tenn or NH)and not needed Florida at all.

IIRC, she has expressed a desire to retire from active politics.
